She doesn’t “wander” she doesn’t seem lost. “you’re aching, you’re breaking, and I can see the pain in your eyes” she’s not satisfied with who or where she is in life. “because everybody’s changing” and she probably feels left behind and wants to be like everybody else and experience those changes together. “so little time” can represent the time they have left together before she leaves him behind to “change with everybody else”. While this is going on, he himself is trying to keep up with everybody and “try to make a move just to stay in the game” but as he’s trying to change, he’ll try to remember who he really is “try to stay awake and remember my name” then he questions why everyone is changing in the first place. He doesn’t feel the same. so in conclusion, the song is a breakup song. It’s about his lover choosing conformity rather than keeping their relationship. Because it’s normal for the world to change and it’s normal for people to be left behind, unable to change with the world.
