To me, this song is about a man who broke up with his lover. The dream he talks about where she sat down and said that they were through with each other wasn't a dream, but to the man it feels like a bad nightmare. They each seem to still have love for the other, but they don't feel like they can repair the problems in their relationship ("we just don't have the time").
The song is him trying to tell her that he still loves her, even though she may not understand how or why.
This is one of my favorite songs now. I heard it the day after I broke up with my girlfriend, and I cried because it was exactly how I felt.
