I agree with anniesomething. I think this song is about the fear of letting your walls down and just the fear of falling in love, especially when you meet someone capable of breaking down your walls. I think this song focuses on the fear of meeting and having someone capable of breaking down your walls that have build up around yourself over the years to where you become so comfortable in those walls that it becomes "home"
"Sleep, sleep with the lights on"-shows the fear of letting walls down.
"Shutter and shades drawn, theres too many windows"-fear that there is too many openings for someone to sneak past the walls or just the feeling of being vulnerable and letting your walls come down.
"cars on the freeway, tempting a clean break, theres no where left to go"- its very easy to just get out of relationships for fear of heartbreak or get out of the relationship before you become too attached, it saves a lot of pain for when/if things end. its the 'clean break'
"With walls, built up around us, The bricks make me nervous, They're only so strong"-fear of your walls coming down and falling in love.
"plates they will shift"-that part, to me, is talking about the actual process of your walls coming down. Things, perspectives, feelings, etc. they will change and when those walls are down you wake up and nothings like it was before- "nothings the same as yesterday"
