Death Cab for Cutie – You Are a Tourist Lyrics 13 years ago
I would have to say that the song is about doing what you feel is right or what you feel in you heart regardless of how radical it might change you. The feeling will just grow and you will feel more and more out of place until you at least try to listen to the desire.

I also think it's "don't be alarmed" not "don't be alone" at the end of the first verse.

I think it might be "an endless yearning" rather than "an endless fury" just since it rhymes. They can mean more or less the same thing though.
