Billy's sounds, lyrics and ideas in general have always been much less cryptic than that of maynard's. In my opinion, there isn't much too interpret here. Just seems like a simple, fairly straightforward love song or love dilemma. Maybe its about someone who is ashamed about the things he has done, (perhaps cheating on his spouse) and his significant other is ready to walk out on him. but he will never give up on her and is pleading for her patience and forgiviness while he works on changing his ways-
"If I could separate me from myself, I'd stay away from me.
If you decide I'm wrong, and you can wait that long, maybe it's not too late."
and...
"Don't pull away..."
Very catchy song, the extra layer of guitar in the final chorus gets to me every time...
I know where you are coming from FenderPrecision, but I think it is (and keep in mind I am loaning off my life at the mo' so it may be prejudiced a tad bit) about a guy who hates himself,

"If I could seperate me from myself I'd stay away from me"
He is saying if he could leave himself he would do it in a jiffy, but he loves her, and she has said she does not hate him as much as he hates himself

The only mildly confusing part would be what has happened to make it too late, perhaps he is commiting suicide at the same time? Not sure about that...
dkyle_06 had a point there. ashleyynicholex3 : not every song of them can mean everything, still FenderPrecision wasn't right, because every song of them can have a quite different interpretation, this one as well.

I think it's more about desires, than deeds. The guy wants something, somebody else than he has. I think the melting sky, the mad parade, the bloody jaws or the fire fall aren't just dangers to her beloved one, but symbols of the subjects of his desires. The melting sky can be the symbol of his worthless ambitions, the mad parade can be the symbol of his...

I think the melting sky, the mad parade, the bloody jaws or the fire fall aren't just dangers to her beloved one, but symbols of the subjects of his desires. The melting sky can be the symbol of his worthless ambitions, the mad parade can be the symbol of his false temptations from the outside, the bloody jaws can be the symbol of life which makes us used and hurt and the fire fall can be the symbol of the destroying and careless aspect of his thinking. He knows that these are the wrong things in the world, so he wants to protect her from these traps. Doesn't matter that the girl is part of this "evil" world as well, because he doesn't want to know it right now, he just wants the pure happiness. He pushes out other thoughts from his mind - "Don't pull away..."
Finally he wants to create a true alliance with her against the outside. (Which is the basic reason of the idea of family.) In my opinion he wouldn't doubt himself if she had been the One.
