I think it's about a relationship between two people who love each other deeply. Despite their deep love for each other, they can't be together. The narrator has been growing and changing, and the person to whom they sing has stopped growing (at least from the narrator's perspective). It's definitely over. "There's nothing we could do to get past this," the narrator sings. "Our time has moved passed us." So the narrator is 100% set on closing the door and is saying that it's time to "move from where we stand" and "see what we don't want to see." In other words, no longer wait for the "right time" – the narrator is making NOW the time they look at the inevitable truth they both know but haven't dealt with yet, as the narrator needs to feel strong without the 'you" in the song.
So it's a very sweet goodbye song, fascinating because the narrator still deeply loves the person they're writing about. So this song is about breaking down – determining the hows, whats, whens, wheres and whys – of their broken relationship, i.e., the breakdown.
