If jojofursure's interpretation is right, this is how I would analyse it:

"It's been so long I've been out of my body with you, I feel alone feel at home feel like nothing is true" - his individuality is being destroyed by modern society's conformity. It brainwashes him that he should feel at home in such a desentisized world.

"She took me to a place where my senses gave way, turn it round shut it down what the people say" - a special someone took him where he can feel accepted for being himself, and forget about all the sh*t that people have been talking about him.

"Climbing up killing time let them give you some, take my hand and let it come let it come" - forgetting everything and realising his true identity is like a moment of nirvana.

"Take it back where she knows that you're doing it right, 'cos everybody else knows what they're taking tonight" - go back to the time when he is doing the right thing by being himself, rather than what society made him to be, while everyone else keeps taking the "drug" of society's brainwashing.

"But I just wanna play it right, we are gonna get there tonight" - he just wants to keep going and break out of this social norm, and just have fun for being himself.

"It's been so long I've been walking the line on my own, lift me up to the stars we are coming home" - he's felt alone and excluded for some time, and tonight he gets to rediscover his old self.

"I know we had a chase but we're out of time, we have sold in the cold physical design" - an expression of disappointment of what has already become of him.

"Set me free set me out on the run, lift me up to the sun to the sun" - but his will to seek freedom from is still growing.

"When you're burning down, it's the way that you fake it I know it's too late" - he can't save everyone else, who had all learnt to act fake through social experiences.

"I just want to take you down, we are gonna bring you round" - yet, he still wants to show everyone the truth.

Bit of a different explanation from how most other people would interpret this (:
