I think this song is about a divorced dad, whose kids have just been picked up by their mom. The front door clicks as the kids rush out to meet her in the driveway; they leave their clothes on the floor and their bikes in the yard. Their little hands slip out out of his hand. He is begining to see that life will go on, in a different shape than it had before, and that's hopeful. But right at this moment, you (his kids) are not home, and that's rough.
