Not to over religiousize the song, but as best as I can tell, the narrator of the song is dying. In this context, though, its not a bad thing. Curtains been drawn (death), his heart can go where it belongs. He's going home (Heaven). The "my waters turned to wine" obviously has a religious context to many. Since Ed is the son of a pastor, these lines wouldn't be thrown out there lightly (imo). It could be a transformation from physical to spiritual. Thats my best guess. But I highly doubt the song meant "were gonna stop touring for a while".
@davidml1023 I can confirm from a direct source that your interpretation is 100% accurate. Unfortunately, due to labels being afraid of Christophobic backlash a lot of their songs had to remain open to interpretation (i.e. - labels choosing to disallow explicitly Christian messages on mainstream labels). Side fact, "Maybe" from Disciplined Breakdown is sort of a sister song to this one. While I cannot state specific details of why or how I know this, I can assure you that you are correct in the meaning.
