I think its about the band being on tour and the singer being away from his girlfriend or wife.. Look at the whole second verse.. "A beating heart and a microphone" is probably how he feels while he's on stage.. "a ticking clock in an empty home" probably means that his house is empty why he's on tour. "and even though I've come so far, I know
I've got so far to go and any day now I'll explode
" After everything he's experienced with the band, the singer probably feels like he's still just beginning his journey and that he still has a long road ahead of him. "each and everyday it leads into tomorrow
and tomorrow brings one less day without you
but don't wait up just leave the light on
cause all the roads that I might take will all one day lead back to you" This is about him telling his girlfriend or wife how much he misses her and that when their tour is over, he can come home to her..
That makes tons of sense only two lines bother me: your answers always maybe and that's when I got up and left). But other than those two lines it doesn't sound like he has any problem with her like everyone else is saying and this makes the most sense
