My personal interpretation is probably wildly off, but it goes like this:
The first verse refers to somebody who is too caught up in their own pain to notice the pain of others, or is either too free of pain to notice the pain of others. Don't really know about the urgency part, but the blindness probably means the person singing is also too caught up in their life to see the problems of others
Chorus means that he's hit the ground (as in, a crash and burn type of thing), and as such is running from his problems. The "place to stay tonight" probably refers to him just getting help, maybe in the form of love, from somebody. "Swear I'll be gone in the morning" probably means he says he will fade from that persons life as soon as he becomes a burden, but he needs something there for him now.
The losing and winning part is fairly self explanitory. The strings part probably means he can't stand without the support (or possibly control, since it says strings) of someone else, probably the person whom he's asking for "shelter" for the "night". He dislikes the people around him, yet he's scared to be left alone with no one to stand by him. If life has taught him anything, he forgot it long ago, referring to the aforementioned blindness.
The heart part probably simply refers to that suppressing your emotions and not doing what you feel is right will leave you on your own. Dunno about the less traveled road part, but the desperate cries growing louder probably and getting closer probably refers to being rid of the aforementioned blindness.

That was needlessly long, but oh well ;p
