I think this song is about a man and a woman, each married to someone else, who are having an affair.

What are we doin' in a mess like this - The situation is a big mess.

What are we gonna tell all our friends - If it gets out, they will have to do a lot of explaining to all their friends, and it won't be easy.

But if we have to goodbye to a life we've gotten used to - They have gotten used to life with the ones they are with.

Maybe this is way off base, but that's what I get out of this song.

My Interpretation
