I think it's pretty clearly:

"Bona Drag was still on
Now I only think about the sadness when the sun kicks out"

The National – I Should Live in Salt Lyrics 12 years ago
First of all I think the lyrics are wrong, it should be "I should leave it alone but you're not around".

Secondly, I think it's true it's about Matt and his brother. I think that in the verses, Tom is speaking to Matt, but the chorus is Matt speaking to Tom ("I should live in salt for leaving you behind").

The National – Hard to Find Lyrics 12 years ago
I get the feeling he is singing about someone who is dead, that he loved. And so he is drawn to death as well ("Really not that far away / I could be there in a day").

But he also knows that if he goes looking for her, she'll probably be "hard to find". So he'll treasure the memories of her and of himself with her instead.
