i think its about moving on from a phase in life... where he is right now just isnt working for him (the place, the people). he needs to get out but it also seems like hes in no rush, just depressed. hes not contemplating on leaving, he has already made up his mind "My mind's already out of here" so its a song about waiting around for whenever hes going to get up and leave.
also when he says wont you come along dear? it seems like he is speaking to a girlfriend and saying that they can both move on together, but that maybe he really doesnt want her to, hes just saying it to be nice... or maybe that she isnt wanting to go and isnt paying attention to his question. because its such a little part of the song and the question is never resolved.
and at the end he realizes that his only friends are his dogs and cigarettes, thats what can make him happy until he gets away.
i LOOOVE this song, i actually made a poster for my friend with some of these lyrics becasue her dog really is her only good friend (well, besides me i guess!)... and the music is so sad.
