This song is about two people with failed attempts of finding love and the world around them doesn't give them much hope. "Too many fallen, too many failed. Nobody move, nobody move." Because of their experiences and observations of the hurt and frustrations from failed relationships, they're afraid to make a move and let themselves fall in love.
When a couple lie in bed with the lights off, they are cuddling and keeping each other warm. "Days with the light off, freezing. You and I, uneasy, livid." Because they are afraid of getting hurt, they keep their distance and are therefore cold. "Too long to fall. Sat shiver in bed. You and a test of will. Too many fallen, too many failed. Nobody move, nobody move."
The world around them full of heartbreaks, unhealthy relationships, and divorce are influencing their decision not to get close. Hence he sees "no sign of fortress" (a person or thing not susceptible to outside influence or disturbance).
They are two people that are together, but not a real couple. "Two of another, none of a pair."
