A lot of what you said makes sense.

I think overall it's about two people who are clearly in love but not accepted. One isn't happy, I think that's a fair assumption to make, and the other cares so much that he/she is will to do anything to help the other, even running away and leaving everything behind, but first the person needs to open their eyes and realize things can be better, and that they deserve better. Also, this is definitely my favorite song on the new album.
