I think this song is about death. More specifically, I think it's about the death of the song's "narrator" who was murdered (or died suddenyly anyhow) and is singing to the wife/lover/family he left behind.
There are a few lines that seem to imply that the narrator is dead:
"Trying to believe for you
That the body didn't drop
I am on a platform
Covered with dust
I pray they take the both of us"
And
"I'm lying in my Sunday best
Assuming this was not a test"
In this context, "The Beautiful Side of Somewhere" is the afterlife. And the first few lines are refering to the grief that the person being sung to will feel when they lean of the singer's death.

Just my best guess.
