Lights in the Sky

I realize what the song sounds like and that people tend to allude to drugs or aliens, but for some reason this song fits perfectly for me as losing someone, not necessarily to addiction or disease, but emotionally. She's not necessarily leaving him for someone else either. Try and follow me on this.

"she's mostly gone some other place" These lines are saying she still around, but he senses her feelings for him gone.

"i'm getting by in other ways" Here he's saying he's coping emotionally without her in whatever ways necessary.

"everything they whispered in our ear is coming true" He admits to not heeding the signs or anyone's warnings that he could be losing her, and he sees it happening.

"try to justify the things i used to do believe in you" When you love someone, you try and see past their faults, their lies because love blinds you to the truth. It's possible he felt betrayed.

"watching you drown i'll follow you down and i am here right beside you" It's a metaphoric way of simply saying "I'm losing you, but I'm going to keep trying to get you back. I'll never leave you."

"the lights in the sky have finally arrived i am staying right beside you" The lights in the sky signify a little glimmer of hope. He sees that hope finally, perhaps she's opened up to him instead of being distant. He decides to keep trying win her back.

"i tried to stay away you know just in case" This could mean a couple of things. When you feel lost without someone who doesn't love you, pursuing them tends to push them away, which he doesn't want to do. It could also mean he's afraid of the end of the relationship so he's avoided unnecessary contact.

"i've come to realize we all have our place" He's realizing that his place in her life has changed.

"time has a way you know to make it clear" The more time passes, the more distance or lack of feelings from her becomes more apparent.

"i have my role in this i can't disappear or leave you here" He feels guilt for her loss of love for him, admitting he had a hand in it. He can't allow it to end that way, with her not loving him.

"watching you drown i'll follow you down and i am here right beside you" Again like before, "I'm losing you, but I'm going to keep trying to get you back. I'll never leave you."

"the lights in the sky are waving goodbye i am staying right beside you" Now for me, these are the saddest lyrics of the song. As the glimmer of hope starts to fade and it becomes obvious there's no salvaging her love for him, he can't free himself of feeling lost without her.
