It seems like it's about not being able to be with family during Christmas and wishing you could be: "And I will be by your side/We will hang the Christmas lights".
Something bad happened that separated the distance between you and your family and so you cling to good memories instead: "Get lost in better times/
If only in my mind".
Ultimately, you're bitter/jealous because you're not apart of a family anymore, or at least not one that would welcome you back: Feel my heart start bursting with envy/'cuz I'm still in the dark".
Since you have no family to share the holiday with, you're left to be with strangers: Someday maybe I will learn/The comfort of strangers/And I won't feel the winter's bite/Looking out at the lonely night".
You hope that one day you'll be a part of a family again or have one of your own: Someday maybe I will know/What's behind that window/And I will be on the inside/Looking out at the lonely night". They won't be alone anymore.
