I agree with FruscianteFan. In the day, everybody and everything is busy and there are natural distractions everywhere. At night, it's the only time you can get lost in your own thoughts and THEN question what has happened in the day just gone, and in your life in general.
I think this applies to the last few lines in particular. - 'Why is there no one in my life', ' There's no room to see wide' Questioning the people who are in your life, feeling blinkered and only able to look at certain things in a certain light because of your experiences.
Wonder what it is that makes the world turn slower',
'Wonder what it is that makes me feel so mad',
'There's no time tonight' - You have too many thoughts swirling around your head, and not enough time to question them all and find the answers you wish.
For changing lines
I've got no time tonight
These lines always strike me personally as a reference to symbolising your life as a play. (You appear on stage, you interact with people, you experience different stages and feelings, and then the, urm, curtain calls.) Therefore, 'for changing lines, I've got no time tonight', perhaps signifies you wanting to change your script to go back and do things differently, or simply to put you in a more favourable place in the future. It could also be a reference to John's feelings towards his own songwriting.
when the wake up's hard to find
Dreams make up for your life
Not wanting to have to face the day, and face everyone around you. You feel that being asleep is the only chance you have to control your own life and dream about things you wish you had in your life. Dreaming could also represent creativity of the mind - and songwriting could be described as creativity of the mind.
This crazy shine it never lets you die
'Shine' could symbolise fame - a never dying light that puts you on a pedestal, a spotlight, and you feel you can't get away from it. It could also represent the spotlight you put upon yourself - pressure to complete everything you do in the highest possible standard.

Such a great song.
