I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
Your hand full of hours, sand from the urns
A traveling companion, the secret of ferns
From darkness to darkness, where shall I begin
When whiteness attacked us, sewn under our skin
And there were the stars
That helped to navigate our souls
With all my love, I went into the world
From inside out, and I gave it all to you
But I need your love, that was looking for me
Just on my lips look for your kiss
And always I think where we might have gone
If we'd never met inside this song
Our names are enciphered
But the words became true
When I was the sun and you, you were the moon
And there were the stars
A traveling companion, the secret of ferns
From darkness to darkness, where shall I begin
When whiteness attacked us, sewn under our skin
And there were the stars
That helped to navigate our souls
With all my love, I went into the world
From inside out, and I gave it all to you
But I need your love, that was looking for me
Just on my lips look for your kiss
And always I think where we might have gone
If we'd never met inside this song
Our names are enciphered
But the words became true
When I was the sun and you, you were the moon
And there were the stars
