i see it a different way...
i liked this song just cos it was good, then i had the misfortune of trusting someone i shouldn't (it's a teenage crush thang). i think this was written by someone in the same situation, that person hurt them bad, makes their skin crawl and can't be forgiven, and choking on guilt is much too pleasant for them.
i think the 'run away from here as far as heaven is wide / angels can fly' is just an example of how far away from that person you wish you were and heaven is, well, kinda big.
