I have no idea if this is right but i think it's about death and that you need to get all the things you need to say before they leave. Like the lines, "Silence is not the way, We need to talk about it, If heaven is on the way." And when we says, "Watching the lights go down, Letting the cables sleep," I think he is referring to when the person is about to die and letting the body rest. And then "I'm a stranger in this town," says that he doesn't know what to do w/o that person.
