imo, i think it's about young love. ("were we too young? and heads too strong?
to bear the weight of these lover's eyes.") the couple fell in love at a young age, probably early teenage years, and at that point in life they weren't ready for the commitment and trust of a relationship. they were too young, weren't sure of who they were just yet, still figuring things out, but they fell in love. i think the boy cheated on her, and now he's feeling remorse but understands they were too young for things to get so serious.
that's just what i think (: this song is gorgeous, regardless. i love mumford and sons.
