I think this song is so amazing, powerful and sad.. it's obvious what it's about, to me, it's about loving someone who doesn't (or who NO LONGER) reciprocates your love, it's about watching and waiting and missing and losing (or having lost) what you want(ed) more than anything, so much so that it makes it hard just to live and see the colors of life ("faint without you near"). "Down here" could refer to earth vs. heaven if a person had died, or if someone had "moved up" in society while the other was left behind. just my opinion, love the song though, it's got a great beat.
