I could be totally off, but I'm just going to say what it means to me. I'm not saying that this is Splender's original meaning. I think that when he says, "and I'd love if I never returned to the ground," it's like saying "I don't want to go back to reality. I'm happy being in my own little world where I feel 'so high.'" I think it's just about escaping the world - "well it won't be the first or the last time the world passes by." You don't care that the world and reality is passing you by, you don't want to be part of it because it just hurts too much. It could be about a relationship, but to me it's more about life in general. Life is "holding you down" and keeping you from being happy.
For me, this is one of the ultimate "I feel like crap" songs, as is pretty much all of the Halfway Down the Sky CD.
