I think that the middle of this album (Moth to Light for the Deadvine) is a narration of a distant love affair. By distant, I mean that the parties involved aren't in any position to meld their lives together, but still strongly desire each other. This relates to that because he is reaching the point where the knowledge of mutual affection is not enough to sustain him anymore. He is basically pleading with the person to just give in. He is trying to explain that being unhappy and burdened for the sake of responsibility is not worth it in the end. Where he says "no cars facing our way" and "we'll all melt away like ice in your hand" he is promising that the negative consequences of their actions will not be permanant, and in the end they will find what they have been looking for.
