I love this song, but it's really not as deep as all that. Cut through Black's trademark odd and obscure lyrics for simple things. It appears to be just a story about a couple, from the male's perspective probably, who's been fighting constantly ("through a storm I called you/it fell each day") and going through the motions, or sleepwalking through their relationship ("while we were sleeping"). He's trying to tell his lover that he cares, but is unable.
