I think that this song is about a failed relationship, you can get by without thinking about the other person while you are busy through the day, but as soon as you slow down, usually at night, you start to think about them. the best line from it is
Nights are long
They creep up upon us
Like a storm when nothing’s in order.
To me this means that you get by through the day completely fine, not thinking about the other person, but when it gets dark the thoughts creep into your mind and you cant sleep so the night becomes a "long night" and nothing you think about makes sense because you werent intending to be thinking about it in the first place.
