I thought I heard that this song was about his wife, so the following is just tailoring the song to my own thoughts. I always thought this was a sweet song about putting your kid to bed.
"While sleep has taken you
Where I'm out of sight..."
She's asleep, away from Daddy, where he can't protect her.
"I'll make my getaway
Time on my own..."
After putting her in bed and her finally drifting off to sleep, sneaking out of the room to have some time to yourself.
"Wasting days and days
On this fight (Incorrect lyrics above.)
Always down and up
Half the night."
Child resisting going to sleep, wanting to stay up. Dad constantly getting up to put her back to bed.
"We'll only sacrifice
What time will allow us
You're sighing..."
Thinking about the time that is given to us with our kids and to appreciate the time we have with them. The you're sighing lyric kills me.
It's a sappy interpretation of a fabulous song. Every time I hear it, I want to skip out on work and go home to my two daughters. (Incidentally, don't miss my posts about Slayer, Bloodbath, and Cannibal Corpse.)
By the way, don't waste everyone's time with corrections about the true meaning. I like my version better.

@efleming sorry to tell you this has nothing to do with a child. I'm amazed that you came up with this interpretation though.
