Though this song sounds whimsical and reverent, further research has proven it is anything but. This song is, in fact, about Doctor Who, specifically the Weeping Angels. Of course, there are some hopeful lines, but not many.
"Wake me if you're out there!"
A constant plea for the Doctor to come and save him from the clutches of the Angels.
"Through the glass in my bedroom window
In the bushes far below
I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow
Among the ones I so clearly know."
Since the Angel was concealed by the darkness, it was free to move, then froze as the singer, obviously terrified, noticed the movement.
"I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged
With a note on the rocking chair
That says I'm dreaming of the life I once loved
So wake me if you're out there."
The angels grow stronger by feeding on energy so he's taking away that source of energy, while again pleading that somehow the Doctor can come and save him.
"Living close to the ground
Is seventh heaven cause there are angels all around."
This line is sarcastic and ironic, basically calling this horror of existence wonderful.
"Among my frivolous thoughts
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts
So wake me if you're out there!"
A reference to the Doctor again, daydreaming about a world away from his home. He probably wishes he could travel with the Doctor.
"In the dust on my cellar staircase
A pair of footprints followed me
I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace
Blinked again but there was nothing to see."
More about how the angels plague him.
"I've been leaving all the windows unlocked
With a basket by the oak tree
Cause I'll be picking up the acorns that fall off
If you'll be climbing up to meet me."
Now the singer busies himself by preparing for when the Doctor comes, setting up a way to see if the TARDIS disturbed anything outside.
"I keep my knees black and blue cause they often hit the hardwood floor
And I believe so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore."
Even though he's quickly losing faith, he still hopes and dreams that somehow the Doctor can hear his pleas for help.
"The indications reveal
That few of us realize life is quite surreal."
Nobody really believes in the Doctor but him, and most people think he's crazy for all his precautions against the Weeping Angels.
"So if you're dying to see,
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity."
Now he asks them to just notice the abundance of angel statues, pointing out that there's something wrong with them.
Congratz if you made it all the way down here! I commend you for your ability to learn the dark truth behind this beautiful song.

Interesting take on the song. Never thought about it that way before. Sadly, we don't know for sure if Adam is a Doctor Who fan... :(

It's so creepy when you think of it in Doctor Who context.
