I think there is definitely a spiritual element to this. I think the narrator in this song is God/Jesus and he is addressing a sinful person who puts Christ away hoping He will go away and vanish and leave the person free to do what they want. Eventually that other person comes back when he/she realizes the truth and their need for God.

Revelation 2:17 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it."
