This is my interpretation. I was thinking that a couple hit a dead end in their relationship. He took a nose dive and she let him go rather than take responsibility for his actions. He later realized what he needed to do to "get right". She may have let him go but she didn't give up on him. She had faith in him and mercy on him for he probably didn't really know the long term affect his choices were having on the relationship. The destination was in mind but he got lost on the way. Her love was unconditional and she wanted to fight for them, which is why I think Sara wrote this:
"When it was over and they could talk about it
They were sitting on the couch
She said what on earth made you stay here
When you finally figured out what I was all about
He said I always knew you'd do the right thing
Even though it might take some time
She said, Yeah, I felt that and that's probably what saved my life"
I was thinking what saved her life was letting him go. Perhaps he had a lot of time to think about things. Perhaps he went to jail, rehab, stayed home, or went somewhere else. He needed to appreciate her and the better things in life.
I was also thinking that love is wonderful. Grace is amazing. God is love. There's nothing more greater than to love and be loved in return.
Okay, so I wrote two interpretations. I think this song is genius, because the first time I did not catch that they both made mistakes. Both forgave the other. It’s not about him being wrong or her being wrong. All are sinners and neither should really judge because we all need to be loved. We all give up at some point in our lives even many times. We all need to be reminded to keep a positive attitude.
