I think this song is not really about a broken relationship. But rather a couple got in a fight, and he irrationally left in a sudden burst of rage. He then starts to regret it, and he wants to apologize, but he can't bring himself to do it. He begins to think about their relationship, the pros and cons. He says that "it's beginning to get to me, that I know more of the stars and sea, than I do of what's in your head". He knows more about other things than he does about her, maybe because she is secretive. "Lash out first, at all the things we don't like, or understand". Maybe this means she has a short fuse.
But at the same time he loves her unconditionally. He says "I would carry you on my back, after our enemies attack." He'd do anything for her. And the line "You are the only thing that makes sense, I just ignore all this present-tense". He can't stop thinking about her, and she is the only thing he thinks about. She's the only thing that seems right in the world.
