My take on this song has pretty much been very well explained in the previous comments, however there was just a small chunk that was never clarified.
"If Heaven's really coming back
I hope it has a heart attack
When they see how dangerous it is for guys like that"
If their relationship is going back to when it was good and simple (when it was like Heaven), they hope it stops before it goes back to it.
"The night has always known when it's time to get going
When it's really been so long that it starts showing"
-The night, or the one he's cheating on her with, has always known when to leave, although the affair has been going on for so long that it's starting to become clear what's happening.
"It's always had that ghost who always almost
Tells me the Secret.
How there's really no difference in who he was once
And who he's become"
This is basically saying that there's been so many times when he was almost caught cheating, and how he's never changed his ways.
I thought I should clear that up. It's really kind of funny because when I first heard this song, I liked it because of the musicality. I never would have thought it was so poetic.
It's just an amazing song.
