Wipe Your Eyes Lyrics

It might be a bit abstract, but I think this song is about a couple who are struggling in ending their relationship. Major lifestyle changes (moving, new job, etc) often create new situations that a relationship may or may not recover from. As much as you want to be together, it's often times better to separate and pursue the things that need to be done. Even though the couple loves each other they know that if they stay together, they won't be able to pursue what they truly love.

I also think the chorus documents the last moment of the relationship where the couple embrace for the final time before no longer being together. Even though they have to separate and cause each other a lot of pain, in the end it'll be okay and work out for the both of them- although without each other.
