Good Lord this song is phenomenal, so emotional. I don't think think this song has one literal meaning, rather it seems to be speaking of loneliness. While it seems clear that it has love-connotations to it, the song seems to be much more broad than that alone. The last verse portrays helplessness ("my legs fail me, distant lights are calling ... tearing my heart out"). From a lyrical stand point, this song is incredible, and its lyricism is certainly matched with the other songs on the album.
