For those thinking it's about breaking up with your lover....
Singer/guitarist Alex Trimble explained the song's meaning to Spinner: "The song was written about touring... the lifestyle that we lead and the people that we left behind, through the fragility of our business that we're in. It's so fickle and you don't know where you're going to be in a few years time, but yet you're giving up so much to be in this position."
Though as a listener myself, I always interpreted the song as the protag of the story (singer) not having the courage to confess his love for a girl and she always seemed to get away. He knows she doesn't want to be alone (maybe they've been friends for a while or are even best friends), but he doesn't wanna ruin things by taking the next step.
