amazing. I just went through this same tough decision and for some reason, this song just popped up from my youth and has been ringing in my head. I didn't remember the lyrics, but I think it was the line "If there never is again, you were the one..." that brought it back into my consciousness. so I looked up the lyrics just to have a look at that line and I was MOVED when I read the rest of them and realized this song expresses so many of my feelings at this moment.
I agree with the consensus. it has to be about being faced with this god-awful dilemma: feeling the pressure from the one you love to "settle down" and having to decide whether to oblige or stay true to your ambitions and ultimately deciding to leave them behind and soldier on alone. This experience has me seriously contemplating the notion of never entering another relationship again as long as I have my own ambitions to pursue. Because when the other is set on "settling down", it just doesn't seem fair to burden them with your mind or "life out on the run".
