I may be biased since this situation happened to me, but it seems as if it's about a love that has drifted apart.

I want you by my side So that I never feel alone again (they have been drifting apart and he wants her back by his side bc the loneliness is terrible.) They've always been so kind But now they've brought you away from me (Family or friends have become unforgiving at things he has done or put her through and she is drifting because of the turmoil they put her under bc of being with him) I hope they didn't get your mind Your heart is too strong, anyway (He knows she is a strong individual and her love for him is strong so he is hoping her heart is tough enough to withstand the criticism) We need to fetch back the time They have stolen from us (They have spent more and more time apart because of her friends and family pulling her away)

I want you We can bring it on the floor You've never danced like this before (They get away or remember back to a time where it was just them, no outside influence from anybody else and they danced like they had never danced before and were just completely and entirely happy being just the two of them) We don't talk about it (they don't talk about all the troubles they are having) Dancing on, do the boogie all night long Stoned in paradise (It's so amazing they just feel completely lost and stoned in the paradise they are in when it is just them) Shouldn't talk about it (they shouldn't talk about it .. just be together like this and happy)

Coldest winter for me No sun is shining anymore (the "honeymoon" is over, they are back to reality and she has drifted away completely because of the confusion and pain family and friends put her through) The only thing I feel is pain Caused by absence of you (Obvious .. ) Suspense controlling my mind (Suspense is killing him hoping she will come back because their relationship has been back and forth but they always got back together .. waiting on it to happen again) I cannot find the way out of here (Can't find his way out of the depression without her)

That is just my interpretation but it is exactly what I went through with my ex and he felt the same way.

@wsb88 i think this is very likely, except i think maybe he and she got into drugs together, and fam and friends tore them apart. he hopes they didnt poison her mind against him too much because the thought of her hating him is too much to bear. he wants her by his side, yet he knows its impossible - the situation changed them both dramatically, and they are no longer compatible. ~all in all, i think its simply a song about loss.
cheers, D
