Someone is debating leaving their current life to go live as a nomad with no responsibilities. Knowing if they choose not to do it now they never will.
Lyrics:
Verse 1: The singer wakes and decides that he wants to leave his current life, before those he knows realize he's gone. He plans to go far enough away that he does not have to deal with the consequences of his actions. He daydreams about living like a nomad, staying in barns, and simply doing things to do them, with no motive.
Chorus: The chorus indicates the two conflicting ideas. "Hold High, Have Faith, Your Reasons" essentially means believe in yourself and this decision, he's telling himself that he has to leave or he never will. The harmony in the background is his fears and doubts telling him that he's not going to leave "Boy, you'll never get on".
Verse 2: He speaks of living like a ghost. He will go from place to place observing but not leaving an imprint. The things he's not interested in he'll simply ignore. Again he speaks of doing things just to do them, and for no other reason.
Chorus: Once again he's telling himself to leave and go but is still struggling with doubts. The final chorus indicates he's overcome his doubt as they are no longer speaking to him. He has decided to commit to leaving, instead the harmony sings with him confirming his choice.
