I think this song might be about someone with Social Anxiety (or some form of painful shyness) I was terribly shy for years, so I really see the references and thought process that you have when you feel this way:
He means tomorrow
But says "in a bit"
And doesn't show up at all
{when you have SAD, you avoid social situation's, I've done this many times, if someone is your 'friend' you agree to hang out some time but then avoid making plans and do anything to get out of it}
He sets his watch
To a comet's orbit
Remembers to forget to call
{I don't know what the first part means, but "Remembers to forget to call," you tell someone you'll call them and 'forget' because you just don't want to talk to anyone}
No courage for love
Too scared to be happy
{Someone with anxiety would obviously be too afraid to love, same as 'too scared to be happy,' too afraid to make friends or do any of the things that make a person happy}
Your place of mine
Means heaven or hell
Two addresses somewhat apart
His home's dark and spiky
Her clear as a bell
It's over before they can start
{their home is dark and not a nice place to be for him because he hides there all the time}
Tomorrow passed them by
{because you're always hiding and avoiding situations, you let the future slip away, and usually by the time you notice what you're doing, it's too late}
But that's just my opinion, because I've been in this position I probably see it more than other pepple. Also, I've never been in love so I tend to not find those kids of messages in songs unless it's really obvious.
