I think it's about two people who have both experienced damage in the past and are hesitant to fully commit to the other. But they are slowly and tentatively moving toward one other despite their doubts and fears. Maybe the relationship is doomed, maybe it will be happy, but for me this song is about trying to make something beautiful in the wake of loss or hurt.
For me this is not a totally hopeless or sad song. Lyrically it has a yearning, melancholy tone, but there's also a fresh hopeful feeling to the music.
