This song is about a couple whose relationship is going through trials. Both the husband and wife have had not experienced a good example of marriage as both of their parents' relationships have been fractured, leaving them at a time in each of their lives to cope with the fallout of divorce. The female in this song sounds as if she has a plan that tends to be independent of her husband as she is afraid the same thing as what happened to her parents could happen to her. He could leave her and she would be heartbroken and alone. The protective emotional wall she puts up (making them similar to "ships passing in the night" idiom) does not stop him from loving her unconditionally and promising to never leave her. Unfortunately, in this life, sin has tainted the world and true intimacy and vulnerability is a struggle. God created the special bond of marriage for a husband and wife to share intimacy. This is a picture also of how God is steadfast and will never leave us despite how we run or put up walls. He is truly in love with his bride, the church, will pursue her and will return for her.
