I always thought the chorus was "I prefer the time you're near me"
I see that I was totally wrong...
I believe that the whole album is about lost love. In an interview, Anthony Gonzalez said that this is his least favorite album in his discography, and I think the theme tells us why-- mainly, nostalgia, losing someone (or a number of someones) extremely close to his heart and having to deal with the emptiness that left within him. He commented that he made it "in a bad time in my life".
The consensus about a lover who has died/in a coma I agree with. That makes sense.
