Seals and Croft were known adherents of a religious movement which sprang from Israel known as the Bahai faith. And some of the tenets of that belief system are said to be what this song is based on.

However, there are some basic philosophies which can be extracted. For instance, the artists perceive the finiteness of life. Also certain aspects of it are unpredictable. Additionally they apparently espouse the idea of individuals following where their hearts lead them, even if there are dangers along the way. But the ultimate reasoning of this song, as buttressed by its title, is that since life is indeed finite and unpredictable, then we can’t take interpersonal relationships for granted.
As such, as made evident near the conclusion of the tune, the narrator is intent on making the most out of moments he spends with his loved ones. More specifically, during this section of the song the addressee definitely reads as if it is a romantic interest.
Conclusion
So all things considered this track has a strong philosophical theme, as in a listener can derive an understanding of the singer’s belief system from the lyrics. But apparently he is expressing such particularly for the purpose of edifying his relationship with his significant other. Indeed from a layman sort of perspective, it can even be gleaned that in this particular case him elaborating on the virtue and complexity of the doctrine he adheres to achieve is for the primary purpose of impressing his romantic interest.
