This song is about the difficulties of sustaining relationships over time.
The narrator has had too many bad experiences that force him to believe it is inevitable that everything good comes to an end at some point, but he would like to believe in it. His partner believes this relationship is strong enough, and he himself hopes that his partner is right and able to fully convince him - with head and heart.
Btw: Interesting connection to Jim Ward's song "Broken songs" which similarly deals with the bliss of beginnings and things becoming uninteresting over time.
