It only makes sense that this song is about maybe his really good friend,lover, someone special that is sick and is about to die of something fatal. You can this throughout the whole song.
"I will follow your ghost as it climbs up the rock-face
and lie with you on the grass above." What if the grass above means lying above her grave.
"maybe there's a hope in just one final second
a flash of her love as she waves us goodbye
don't torture yourself with what we might have given
we did everything that we could ever do" - By this time in the song she's died and they cant help but remember her... and there not going to toture themselves by thinking of all the things they COULDNT do to help her. He just wants to wake from all of this and look beside himself and see her again....
That what I think it means.
