I think this song is about being the witness to a murder somehow,
or knowing someone who you know will get killed, hence the "you gotta get out".
Maybe he didn't know her that well and saw her life through a window or across an apartment hallway (Maybe she's resting up, maybe she was out late, just came back from the club) <-- that being his theory for why she went home late the night before her murder or something.
And the "footsteps in the hallway" and "Something doesn't seem right, killer in the hallway, we're leaving at the same time" make sense with the apartment hallway theory, in my opinion.
I don't know, I'm just throwing my theories out there.
I hope I made sense. :3
