I just heard this song for the first time and it hits close to home. At first it struck me as lovers going separate ways, but as the song developed I think there's a deeper meaning. They both say they're hanging to each other and their vows and even when they're gone they're still there in their arms. The "if... if we have to" tells me it's not voluntary these are two lovers saying goodbye for now in this life. He's letting her go and saying it's ok.
