Here's something else to think about, I think it's about a long distance relationship.
"We could live through these letters
or forget it all together
See the months they don't matter,
it's the days I can't take"
It doesn't matter how long they are apart, it's just he can't stand how the days go by while he's alone.
"Just ask the question,
come untie the knot
Say you won't care,
Say you won't care
Retrace the steps
as if we forgot
Say you won't care,
Say you won't care
You try to avoid it,
but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing I can do nothing about"
He wants to go back to the time when they were happier together, and they were not seperated. But he can't do anything about it. And he wants her to say "I don't care," about the distance, but she's not going to because she's fallen out of love with him.
"Well all that we need
is just a reaction
It's too much to ask for
when there's no attraction anymore
If chasing our dreams is just a distraction
I want to remember that
I know I can't go back"
They're trying too hard to be in love again, but the distance has pulled them apart so far and she is no longer in love with him.
But even if that is wrong, it's easy to assume that this song is about a horrible break-up to a wonderful relationship. My distance theory was just a good assumption to the cause of it.
