"Here, where they can't find us
I dare them to call me out
I tell you we met here on purpose
I bet they can't wait to wake us up"
The singer and whoever he is in love with are, obviously, in love. For whatever reason, people do not approve of them being together, verging on or to the point that they aren't even 'allowed' to be together, so they are hiding. It sounds like it's trouble for the singer more than the other person if they're caught. It also sounds like they're in some sort of interesting, or at least. . . 'other' place, not somewhere they always were or somewhere they just visited, though.
"I know it's a little bit strange
It's all a little bit strange"
Something about the nature of the relationship and/or the situation they are in, and probably the place they are in, is new to both to them, but that's okay.
"Make a point and ignore them
Come on let's wait this out
They'll find we never stop turning
Sometimes it's tough to change direction"
They're going to ignore all of the disapproving people and just wait for them to come to their senses, but they know it's probably going to take them a while.
"At the end of the day, I...
Gonna say what I mean, I...
Slipping all away
At the end of our days
We'll escape "
In spite of everything, when it comes down to it, the singer isn't going to pretend that he isn't in love with the other person. And when whatever is going on is over (because it does sound like there's some stuff happening that doesn't matter to the song -- just an impression I get), or something like that, they'll either leave the place they're in or leave behind any reasons they had for even pretending to listen to everyone who told them they couldn't be together, and be happy.
(After thinking of the song this way, I realized it reminds me of Stargate Atlantis. How McSheppy. :D)
Anyway, I really, really, really adore this song. It's my favorite Howie Day song, and, as everyone else has said, it's just so beautiful.
