Love this song -- I see it as being a couple in a long-standing relationship, where the guy is realizing that he kind of thought, ok, I\'ve found her so it\'s now just going to be happily ever after, and now he\'s waking up to the fact that things have continued to move along, and he needs to reassess things.\n\nIn particular, I think this is about having kids ("when the nights were ours alone") and realizing that there are new responsibilities and effects from that.\n\nBut it\'s a wonderfully positive song, really, both with the jangly upbeat music and the "well, guess we\'ll just begin again" with the underlying emphasis on "we".
