It can be interpreted as Romantic or Sentimental. Take your pick.
"Do you want in to the outside..." is a reference to the great beyond but could also be interpreted as estrangement.
"Nobody's hoping for better days. No one knows what to do..." is describing the despair and unfamiliarity of such a loss.
"It might save time if I meet you there, but I don't care I'd rather wait for you." is describing the feeling of wanting to die but instead having to go on with life without seeing this person again. Acceptance of the loss.
I don't feel like I can give a large generalization for this song as with most built to spill songs, so here is a few lines:

You�re okay in your secret place,
With no one bothering you.
It might save time if I meet you there, but I don�t care
I�d rather wait for you.
You�re okay in your secret place,
With no one bothering you.
It might save time if I meet you there, but I don�t care
I�d rather wait for you.
This seems to be about opening up to someone in a relationship. We all have a "secret place" and it oftens seems better not to let anyone in there. Hes saying its ok if this person won't let him in right away....

As long as it�s talking with you,
Talk of the weather will do.
As everyone has said already. A great line. Its great because so much about love isn't about the big deep conversations(such as talking about your secret place). But when someone means something to you, even conversations about insignificant things are great. I always think about this lyric when I talk to people about the weather. Talking about the weather is such a default conversation when you have nothing to talk about. Its so meaningless. I kind of hate it and I think Doug Martsch might too.
Nobody�s hoping for better days
No one knows what to do.
I can't help but want to relate this line to what I said already. When you have those deep connections with someone, it often seems like everyone else seems so shallow. Other conversations seem so meaningless.
Probably just based on my own experiences and relating it to myself, but this is how I took it.
This song is about a lost loved one.

This song is incredibily poetic.
RIP Jeremy.

You nailed it! Lyrics aside the music really tells the story.
