I get the feeling that this song is about a woman who finds herself falling in love, but who isn't willing to commit yet. Possibly out of fear of ruining both their lives ("Well I wouldn't want to ruin something I couldn't save/ The gap will keep us safe, the gap will keep us safe"). So she leaves her family and tries to make her own life for herself ("I'll apologise to the ones I love/ For leaving them when the sun comes up"). Then it seems as if she is going mad, possibly a connection between falling in love and going insane, and finds herself back with the one she loves ("Convinced that I am going mad/ Oh I bury my head into his hands"). But she's still not sure of herself even when she's "clearing a space in his father's land".
