I agree with both BrokenIce and elGarzon, and have some further thoughts on what the song means.
I think it's about someone who has finally left a relationship they probably should have left before then because of the dependency issues. At the same time, their world is teetering because they put so much into being "them" that as single units they're no longer sure how they should function. It's down to simple movements to get through;
"I'll put my suitcase here for now, I'll turn the TV to the bed"
Mechanical motions, one thought at a time - followed up by some incredible insight;
"But if no one calls and I don't speak all day - do I disappear?"
If she hasn't spoken to anyone for the entire day - does she cease to exist that day?
She still has some serious dependency issues - asking whether the other half wants her back and if she can come back - it's all inside her head, she's thinking about it. She's miles away, running away;
"I called you from the hotel phone, I haven't dialled this code before"
She's gone so far away to escape - and it's not the first time;
"And now I know, each time I go, I don't really know what I think I know"
The leaving is becoming routine or habit, she doesn't know why she keeps doing it and she can't comprehend why she does what she does.

Just my thoughts on a brilliant song!
