I don't think it necessarily has to be about a vampire, although I think that interpretation (the way is was described here) is quite moving, and beautiful. The way a vampire would want a normal life and everything, that's a very touching interpretation. I like it, really.
I lie here alone and wonder why
That I come alive, just before I half to hide.
I think it could be just a regular person who is living a life they're not happy with (due to bad descisions), but perhaps everytime they try to move away from it, the fear of the unknown, the new, or maybe a life they once had that they no longer live, makes them step back.
Because I believe I'm losing my nerve
But could I ever do better than this
The thing about losing your nerve kind of shows their fear of going into a regular, happy way of living. The next line shows their own self-doubt in themselves. It could be because they've always lived this way and they don't know if they can 'do better than this', or they tried to live that way and failed, and they don't think they'll ever be good enough for a normal life.
Because all I ever wanted was a place to call my home
To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone
All I ever wanted was a place to call my own
Where stars may dance and sun still shines and the storms feel free to roam
Daydreaming about what they want. They want someone to care about them and, of course, miss them when they're gone. A place to call your own not only means a home, but people to care about him and just the feeling of belonging. Not belonging and being accepted by everyone, but by someone.
Not sure what the next lines mean. Maybe it means he listens to what other people think of him, but he's not sure if he's going to listen to their judgements and motivate himself to do something or just stay where he is.
If there's a way to a remedy then lead me straight to it
If there's a path or a door I missed , then show me now, show me this
Very simple. He's saying that he'll take any option or a hint of what to do to get him to the life he covets. If there is something he hasn't thought of, he's hoping someone could show him that.
feel free when I am gone
Maybe gone from the life he is currently leading. He just wants to be free, and he'll feel this way if he can break away.
