This is about someone who is sinning and they are telling God to leave because they dont want him to see the crimes they are committing. God ends up trying to help that person, and they finally break down to where they are trapped between "Light and dark" wanting to let go of sin, but just not ready yet.
@Evanecence2001 Very great interpretation and I love that you don't dodge around "the God topic" like a lot of Red's listeners tend to, though Red has said very explicitly they are Christians. I've always heard this song very similarly, but I feel like the song is also trying to represent how much time seems to have passed since the person was living in darkness, based on the "endless night" line.
