I tend to agree with the first commenter. This song seems to center around run-aways.
The first verse to me seems like a girl who had run away and either ran afoul of someone who killed her or she simply couldn't survive life on the street and succumbed most likely to exposure or possibly a drug overdose. "Eye turn grey like her face in the paper" indicates that someone was posting notices in the newspapers about a missing girl. Her eyes turning grey would happen when she died.
The second verse we're obviously dealing with a girl who drowned or was drowned. I'm inclined to think the latter, since the lyrics states "we'll soon be with her". Perhaps there's a serial killer targeting run-away girls and this is what he does with them.
The third verse seems to deal with the afterlife. This is where they'll all be together and "sleep forever", which death is often called the endless or forever sleep. "we'll never remember" would indicate that in death they would no longer have to dwell on the memories of how they died or the painful memories of their life (i.e what drove them to run away to begin with)
The chorus seems to say two things at two intervals. They've all zeroed in on a house that's seemingly abandoned. Probably to spend the night without being run off or bothered. The "this will all be over tonight" that follows that may mean "tomorrow I'll go home". The second half where "there's something in the dark" would be the murderer entering. Now they're frightened and want to leave now because they don't want to die. Which leads me to further think that it's a serial killer. He targets runaway girls and probably uses that house as a setup, perhaps even telling them he knows a place they can go to sleep for the night safely - a baited trap you might say.
