I think this song is about two people dying in a car crash and being buried underneath a sycamore tree. The fact that he mentions how he was a "wretched man" and how they were both "broken," etc. maybe shows that the two passengers were lovers who had a very difficult relationship but were still "soulmates" (for lack of a better description).
"Well I was such a wretched man
Searching everywhere for a homeland
Now we are under the same sun
Feel it through the leaves, let it heal us"
There are clearly some regrets here, probably because of the difficult relationship. But now they are dead and buried underneath the same tree/sun, and now there are no difficulties. They can finally be at peace together.
"We are the same
We are both saved
Underneath the sycamore"
Same as above. They have died and are finally together without the obstacles faced in life. Despite their differences, they are the same, and they are buried ("saved") beneath the same tree.
"We were both broken in our own ways
Sifting through the rubble for the wrong things"
This kind of invokes images of both the crash and the relationship, comparing them. Broken relationship, broken in the crash; sifting through the "rubble" just as the rescue teams sift through the car's rubble for them; etc.
"I know you've got a vengeful heart
But I cannot be stopped soon as I start"
Again, comparing the relationship to the post-crash scene. The narrator knows the other person is "vengeful"/stubborn due to the fact that they have been in such a hard relationship, and now the other person's literal heart is doing the same as their personality. It is being stubborn, refusing to just die, just as the narrator can not stop bleeding. Narrator is saying that it is okay to just let go.
"But you have seen your darkest rooms
I have slept in makeshift tombs
This is where we find our peace
This is where we are released"
Self-explanatory. They are finally at peace together despite what they went through in life.

I hope that makes sense!
