Well I don't think that the song's about a relationship. The music could tell it's about something really different. It's just about human life.
The song starts with defining general problems: we don't have a guide but our own senses and we seem to be lost in life. We need to turn around. "Have we lost the spark or a guide? What's the latest on the screen? Can't be too late to turn around"
And in the second verse: "Please tell me my name, I haven't checked it today" - a way to refer to identity crisises.
Our days pass bye without meaning, but we're still human souls and thus want reason, answers to our questions. Questions like these:
"Why I'm running from something I don't know?
Why I'm searching for something which way to go?
Why I'm trying to separate what's real?
I'm running in a wheel."
(Our efforts seem to be worthless.)
"Are we dancing all alone?"
...and all the other questions go to somebody out there who might hear us and give us a sign. ("Waiting for a sign to tell us why") These unanswered questions are asked by a man from god or life.
At the end of the chorus, the lyrics say what the true sign shows us to do: collecting "stars" (small joys) from our lives. It's not a true answer to the questions but that's what time teaches us at least.
Writing down what these lyrics really imply makes less sense but I think it is really something about that. Especially when you imagine how Anders sing it. .)
