I think it's about a young woman with a child. The father is not taking his responsibilities and a distance has grown between them. Perhaps 'the back of the hand' even refers to some sort of domestic violence in their household. The partner on the receiving end of things is flirting with the idea of leaving, because there is little left to stay for. However, having nowhere to go and still holding on to the idea of turning things around in the relationship is preventing her from leaving. This line of thought, however, is about to backfire and destroy what's left of them.
Considering the philosophical influence on Jaars and Harringtons music I have some doubts about your interpretation, but please don't take it personal. :)

None taken :) I really enjoyed reading your interpretation and I reckon it's far more accurate than mine... You've really given it some thought (more than I did, obviously) and I admire the insight.

I might be terribly wrong, though... :)
