This song can be about anything, I think just because the music video portrayed one circumstance it doesnt necessarily mean the words are about that one perticular event. The song is about a relationship, any relationship, and feeling detached. Still wanting to hold on when you know its slipping right out of your hands and there is nothing you can do about it. Whether this song is about two lovers, a mother and a child, it has a universal message which is not knowing what you have until you lose it.
