A guy and girl are in love and start to build a life together (digging a hole)
One day she breaks it off and leaves (pulls the ladder and leaves him stranded)
He goes through a really rough time dealing with the breakup and struggles to see the light at the end of the tunnel (there's little daylight)
Guy starts to feel bitter about breakup and believes girl is selfish (every telescope pointed at you) and states that he now feels a world away from her (further away from you).
Guys feels lost and lonely and girl has started new relationship (digging with someone new)
This is of course my interpretation but this song speak so loudly to me, having been the in the same position as the guy. I see this as a break-ups song and think it lends itself better when Ben sings it acoustic (check out youtube).
