I'm not out to find what davey meant by the song im just writing what it seems to mean to me. It seems like its about a relationship where the narrator doesnt love who he is with though they do love him and he wont really give up the relationship.
I have been a world apart, stuck in between time.
-The world apart means that he doesn't feel the same as the other person. He feels like they are metaphoriically on two different planets. Stuck in between time is like where the relationship keeps happening over and over and its like time is just repeating itself.
Head into the ground, I'm found falling through fault lines.
-He feels like he will go to hell for lying to the other person and every lie(fault line) he says just makes him fall closer to hell.
I feel see through.
Can you see through me?
-He feels like everyone should be able to tell he doesnt feel the love that the other person feels for him. He is asking the person if they can tell he doesnt love them.
Could I change one thing?
Could I change your mind?
-They broke up and are getting back together and he is asking if he can change their mind about being with him.
Shall we burn it just like the last time?
-Asking should they break up again like they always do.
I can't change a thing, can't explain why I never felt it, not even the first time.
-He's saying that he can't explain why he cant just say he never loved her or why he didn't feel anything for her since the beginning.
Raise a glass and toast the flame just like the old days.
-He's saying lets move on and just be happy for the memories. Lets just be happy about what we had like how we were happy about it in the beginning.
Swallow but be careful, don't drown the new ways you could say, "Would you change this time?"
-The swallow and drown parts make me think of holding back tears and sadness. He's saying its okay to be sad but don't make it be like the end of your life and ask me to love you when i can't. don't ask me to make this work by making me feel guilty.
I'll begin to change my mind when you can explain why I feel see through.
-He's telling her that he can love her when she tells him why he doesn't and why he lies about it.
Can you...feel me?
-Asking if she really believes that he loves her.
Shall we?
Nothing's different...
-He is now askin her to take him back again though it will be the same as always. Nothing will change. I still won't love you but i just want to be with you.
The song is like the narrator wants to be with the girl cause he cares about her but he doesnt actually love her which make him not want to be with her cause he will just hurt her. He is torn between wanting to make her happy though it hurts him to lie to her and wanting to end it so she can maybe find something real though she loves him and breaking up for real would hurt her. He just wants her to see he doesn't love her and wants her to just end it so maybe she wont really be hurt so much.

This is a very good interpretation. Also sad if it's true.
