This song literally tears me up inside whenever I hear it. I want to cry, tear myself, but I can't help but be taken back to a beautiful place by the slow and consistent sweet melody to this song.
My immediate interpretation was that of Will's. Not claiming mine as right but just commenting, I think there's a little more to it. They realize it's going to end and you can hear the ignorance in the song. The fact that actually acknowledging it is painful because it means conceding that you were never good enough.
Though both lovers have their own respective spouses to come home to, it's not enough. This line is particularly beautiful when you can hear the anger, betrayed, and pained feeling:
"you went white as / a sheet / and wished that nothing /in this world / would ever hurt me. / Well, keep wishing."
This reminds me of myself and something I long to yell.
"If you really want to love me, well, then do it."
