Fantastic song! I love it! One of my favorites on the album. Here's my interpretation of what it means.
Thought it was dead and buried
Then it woke you up last night
You sounded so damn worried
You've been tossing, turning, both ends burning
The relationship that they had has been over for awhile, but she wakes up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep, thinking of how much she misses him. She calls him to try and talk.
I wanna put your mind at ease again
(Make everything alright)
I know it's getting underneath your skin
I've tried to tell you now
She wants him to help, to be with her, to love her the way that their love used to be. He wants to help deep down, feeling sorry for her, but with the mistakes that she made during their relationship, he just can't do it. He can't go through the same pain she put him through over and over.
Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me
You're seeing in your dreams
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meaning
In the visions when you're sleeping
Don't wake up and believe them
You're looking at the ghost of me
He is saying that it's over, there is nothing that can change what has happened, and they will never be together again. She can dream about him all she wants, but those dreams are just memories of a relationship that cannot be repaired. She is thinking he will be there, but when she turns around, all that's left are the faded memories of a relationship dead and buried.
With your imagination and emotions running wild
Fueling my frustrations like a fire burning, clock keeps turning
I know it's getting underneath your skin
I've tried to tell you now
She is imagining them being back together, being back the way they were before their relationship came to a close. She tries to confront him on this, wanting to get back together. This is making him angry, as they have went over this same story several times and it's getting old. He's telling her it's over and that she needs to move on, to find someone else.
I've been in several of these relationships, and I've been on both sides. I've learned it's always best just to move on, to find someone that won't hurt you, who will be there with you, and who will love you unconditionally with all their heart.
I love this song! I thought it was great to see it used on a CSI Miami promo. The chorus has a special meaning to me- I had a relationship with a woman for 5 years and she moved back to her home state. The last day I saw her, on my way home, this song came on. I was sitting at a red light and thought wow, this so fits!

Chris, I think your interpretation is spot on. I see it exactly your way as well. Good stuff.
