I don't think this song is quite so literal (like running away) nor do I believe that it's necessarily about love. I actually agree with Worldsablur. I think this song is about someone who's lost themselves be it to depression or the result of some tragedy. And he keeps putting on a face, acting like nothing is wrong, for the sake of those around him because he believes that no one can fill that void within.
It's kinda like he's a bystander to everyone else. He's watching the world go by indifferently because, without whatever it is he's missing (be it a lover, friend or family member) he doesn't feel like he belongs in the world. To me it seems like this person is wishing that whoever left had taken him along - 'now take me with you'
'So how can hearts so young feel so much pain' - To me could be others who don't understand what he's going through. They question him and wonder why he's acting the way he is.
'Will they ever understand that we don't want to be like them?' - Could mean that he will never let go of this one missing person like so many other people do. All these people are telling him to just move on, to give it up, be he refuses because he isn't willing to let it go that easily.
All the other meanings fit really well, too. -^ o^-
