Basically, it's about a relationship. It could be a boy-girl, or a parent-child, or friend-friend relationship. Basically, though, assuming it isn't a parent-child relationship, it seems to be about growing apart from an important person in your life. You feel that you are on the right track in life, but (it implies) that they are on the wrong track in life. You want them back, but you've grown too far apart, and the void seems impenetrable. This would definitely make sense with a boy-girl relationship.
The whole concept of the album is about finding your identity. This song seems to be about losing someone important to you, which definitely has a huge effect on your identity.
Couldn't agree with you more! It's about a relationship whether it be between people or people and God or maybe even both.

Say the song is about a boy and a girl. It could be something else, but i feel the verse 2 is more powerful if it's about love. The boy is a solid christian but the girl isn't sure of her faith - "the night was growing dark" (picked it this way because I know a story where it is so)

"Thought you were beside me
But I reached and you were gone"
However, the girl isn't fully lost. The last lines in verse 1 imply that she longs back to the relationship with the boy and simultaneously with God.
"I hear you crying softly for the way it was before"
The chorus is basically the cry of the boy (and God, too!) to the girl who went missing. He is desperately missing her and worried that is she lost forever.
Verse 2 is powerful, as I said.
"You took it with you when you left
These scars are just a trace
Now it wonders lost and wounded
This heart that I misplaced"
As the girl left the boy (because she left God), she took his heart with her and all the boy has left is the scars. His broken heart is wondering somewhere between his feelings for her, his love for God and the thought of losing her.
