For me this song is about loss, and the pain you feel when you can do nothing to help somebody around you. It reminds me of a situation I had when a friend of mine was in the hospital. I have a feeling that somebody really important died in Andy's life died from getting sick or something. (That I have not been to since your goodbye) Jesus is called a thief because he took that person away from him. He describes a situation of helplessness, because in those situations there really is not a lot that you can do. You juwst want to run away because of the pain that you feel.
So, that's at least my take on it.
