I heard this song in high school, and always interpreted it in the most depressing way possible - decaying relationship, everything's going wrong, etc. Now I'm not so sure. The ending still sounds downbeat, but the first verse - maybe "is it too late to call this off" refers to some party that they both don't want to be at; they'd rather get away and have time to themselves, together. It might be a little scene from a happy relationship, rather than some pivotal moment from a dying one.
