I think this song is meant to be taken pretty literally. The imagery is beautiful. You can picture the mist covered window with the neon signs outside shining through. They are in the city. His wife has been crying, they had been fighting. He is reaching out to her, "lets go out." He draws this whole picture in just the first stanza. Powerful use of words.
I don't think they are old, he specifically says that they are young. But dressing in pink and blue is clearly playful, he wants them to go out and have fun. There could be deeper meaning, esp with 'into the night, into the light.' but I don't see it. I like to think that this is a simple yet beautiful snapshot of a poignant moment in this couple's life.
