The narrator has (as is clearly stated) failed someone they love and want forgiveness. But beyond that, I think that they are also just pondering life (and death, in the last verse) "I have waited, I have waited...but there's no one who makes it all come true," makes me think that they are realizing that they really love the person, and life, and that they're really ready to "look the whole thing in the eye." This is a powerful song that feels like it was written right before the narrator goes back to the person they love, and the life they want to live, and confronts their fears as a stronger person than they were recently. This song always puts me in a good mood :)
