I love this song. It sounds to me like he loved a girl who didn't love him back (clearly, she always loved Charlie best) but despite this he was still racked with desire for her. Later on in the song it sounds like he finds out she's got cancer- where her hair is falling out and she takes off her dressing gown (maybe what he saw was her body dying of cancer) and her mother wears black and has some of her hair. After she died he started running and he knows he'll always be running from his pain and love for her.
