I heard this song for the first time today and it made me cry. The lyrics are simple yet they invoke so much emotion. I think this song is definitely about the end of a relationship.
"Fall asleep Spin the sky" makes me think that the singer was always on the go and waking up in different cities or countries. The distance and constant leaving made the love lose its idealistic glow. Even though they might have been together (in a relationship) she still felt hollow and empty like a skeleton because she was always physically away from her lover. The coldness of feeling alone became more consuming then the flame of their love, and the lover in the song eventually left because he/she couldn't watch the singer go on as a "skeleton" of herself. Maybe, they loved each other just as much as was humanly possible, but for reasons it was just to hard for both sides to bare.
Anyway, that is my long interpretation.
This song seems to almost have a haunting quality to it. Regardless of how you may choose to interpret it I think it is one of the best songs I've heard all year.
