The song seems like a dramatic take on losing something important, possibly a lover, possibly childhood, possibly innocence. Taking the two of the latter into consideration, I could see this being a bitter coming of age song. To me, the song always seemed to be about how when people reach that weird realization after they reach a certain point of being 18-23, where they realize how different their life is going to be and how much more responsibility they have to take on and the hardships that they're going to go through as they wisen up to the ways of the adult world. I think I can recall them saying in an older interview that the topic of childhood, the leaving behind of it and the revisiting of it, are both common topics of their music.
If I were to take the lyrics literally I could see the song being about abduction, though I don't care much for that interpretation.
Hate to be one of those people but since other commenters have pointed it out on youtube, the song really reminds me (and many others) of Lacie from Pandora Hearts. Though it's probably not about her since I doubt they have read that series.
