Like a lot of the songs on the album, the song is about dealing with hardships and Jon wanting to get away from them. As MorningStar said, there's a good chance this song refers to suicide as the escape, as implied in the "How I wish that I could fly / All the things that hang above me / To a place where I can cry", with that place he's talking about being heaven.
