The repeated lines, "I'm not your way out" suggest the speaker is advising someone close to him that he can't make everything in her life better. She wants, "the phone to ring/The dogs to bark and the wind to sing".
I think it means that in the song, the speaker iscusses what would happen if everyone could just escape from all their problems: "It gets so easy to leave that work and aeroplanes we see as just exits from now".
If everyone leaves, "Worlds collide and we depart". So now the cities are empty and devoid of people, "All the cities left undone and bricks in time turn back to mud/The weekend plans are gone/There’s no one coming down the hall".
So he's saying we all have to stick with our lives even when times are tough, you can't just run away.
I agree with that one...A beautiful way to tell a girl you're leaving that she needs to grow up. Can't live on vacation all the time. That's not the real world.
