This song's meaning to me was basically a sophisticated way of saying "I'm giving up on this." She talks about the beauties of Manhattan, and how he can have it all, so maybe she's talking about Manhattan as another girl. However, it is more likely that they are slowly sliding away from eachother ("you can have Manhattan, I'll settle for the beach").
"Holding us in place is simply fear of what's already changed". The only reason they're still together is because they are scared it's going to get worse than it already is, and they don't want to hurt eachother. This is Sara giving it all up, setting him free.
I think it's exactly what you said. I think it's just the realization that what they had before is over, and it's time to quit holding onto each other and their dream (Manhattan). It didn't work out, and it's time to move on.
