I agree with JonOwen. From the first time I heard this I thought it was a cry out to their lost bandmember. This was originally because I mistakenly thought that Silas was the one who left, though now I realise he is the drummer. Anyway, I think my mistake was coincidently correct, it is about Johan. I think JonOwen is absolutely correct about the cry out and it's place on the album as a whole - that maybe they are tired of their status, and maybe envious of Johan's new, settled life.
Whether or not they are truly saying that they would rather settle down like Johan and "get out somehow", or just saying that they miss their old friend, I think the song essentially boils down to the latter - it's about missing someone who you used to share a life with. The song is specifically about Johan, but the feeling is the one of missing someone who has left you.
