Well you could pick this song apart completely. In the beginning when he's talking about "Please hang up my raincoat". It means that he's comming in from the 'rain'. In symbolic terms, I think the rain represents the numbness he's going through with a girl he thought he loved.
The song kind of tells a story about how they broke up, and he's waiting for her to return again. The line, "It seems the distance you've made has since lost its meaning", kind of implies that she ended things with him instead of vise versa.
There must have been something going on in the relationship that she just couldn't handle. And then, all of a sudden, when it was over there was a distance growing between them. The memories of good things started to fade and were replaced over time with bad memories instead.
The warnings of "Disaster" that he senses are that they are on such bad terms that they tend to have very emotional fights with each other when they talk about their relationship.
The line "This tragedy plays itself over in my mind", sort of goes to say that he feels some level of guilt or remorse over what happened between them. He tends to think about it quite a bit, even though time has passed over since their relationship ended.
The "absence" is basically about the void he feels without this person. The absence of him being in this person's life has turned her cold toward him. Perhaps he betrayed her in some way and regrets it.
VERY GOOD SONG. i love cursive :) ^^ that up there is just my take on it. I could be wrong.
