I have to disagree with Brad. I used to interpret the song that way, and then I both listened to it again and read the lyrics.
This song is one of hope. It's actually about reconciliation.
The combination of the bridge:
Just once
I want to understand
Why it always comes back to goodbye
Why
Can't we get ourselves in hand
And admit to one another
We're no good without each other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together
and the last lines:
Whoa oh, we can get to it
Just once
Say to me that this couple is willing to do the work to be the exception. I'm picturing one of them, standing at the door, about to walk out, and instead they turn around and stay.
@cycworker totally agree... this song seems to be my theme song right now in my life, finding myself going through a midlife crisis of sorts. The questions that come with middle age and re-evaluating ones life and how one gets to where they are now, with "empty nest" right around the corner... blah blah blah.
