I really love this song, I know I probably wont look at it the same way as anyone else but really it hits something in me, and I'm glad its got such simple lines and makes such an impact.

I know there are many ways to interpret any lyrics but in my head I almost imagined some kind of motion picture.

A boy/man who has grown to become mentally ill from depression, "tonight we'll enjoy the time we had but in the morning i'll leave before you wake" I viewed that as he is leaving to get help in the morning, and wont be home again until he feels better. I don't think of it as he is sleeping next to someone, because he doesn't seem to depict a lover in the song. The lines "No more living alone, no more running away" he's more of talking about in his head, he's done running away from his mental illness and living alone in it. "focus your thoughts, breath deeply and make it through the dark" This is a type of advice he is giving himself and reminding himself to get through the night/day and the rest he has to live.
