In my opinion, the lyrics seem to represent a relationship going stale.
"all this time is ash and sand, its running thru my hands" that time has no meaning to it anymore. more to the point, the time he spends with her holds no basis it, theres no form or structure.
"so what if i dont feel/see it" talking about how he doesn't feel what he used to, and how he doesn't see a reason to stay with her.
"torn apart from limb to limb and put in place again" i get the picture that they were in a fight where he was just getting torn apart. while sitting there taking it in a numb surreal world of his own. which brings it back to the "so what if i dont feel it" line
"innocence is gone" the beginning of a relationship is amazing and blissful and well.. innocent. now its gone stale and you know every little flaw about a person and there is nothing holding you back from pointing those flaws out. maybe the cause of the above fight.
"and you dont taste the same" the girl changed, lost her innocence. overall not the girl he fell in love with.
and finally "the steps between us is starting to show
the space between us is starting to grow" this is kind of self explanitory. Their differences are starting to come to the surface and they are beginning to see that they are growing apart.

then back to the first couple of lines to recap.
