I thought this song was different than those interpretations, but i think you guys might be right.

"I don't like walking around this old and empty house"
( I thought it was a widow who's husband died recently, she feels the house is empty w/o him )

"So hold my hand I'll walk with you my dear"
( I thought this might be like his ghost talking to her )

"The stairs creak as you sleep it's keeping me awake"
( More of him being a ghost )

"It's the house telling you to close your eyes"
( He's telling her to go to sleep )

"Somedays I can't even trust myself"
( Just her not knowing what to do w/o him )

"'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore"
( Like they are eventually going to meet again )

"Well tell her that I miss our little talks"
( Him just missing her )

"Soon it will be over and buried with our past"
( Foreshadowing )

"We used to play outside when we were young and full of life and full of love"
( Nostalgia )

"Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear"
( Her seeing his ghost )

"You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you"
( Cus he's dead..)

"Now we're torn, torn, torn apart
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon"
( This might be farfetched but i thought she was trying to end her life because she wanted him to let her die so they will 'meet again soon' )

"Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around"
( He doesn't want her to die )

"I'll see you when I fall asleep"
( Like she seems him when she sleeps, so they can be together in her dreams )

And thats what i thought...maybe a little out there, but if you listen to the song, you can seriously picture this scenario...and when it plays the "Hey!" happy parts i feel like she is remembering happy memories of them together doing things...sorry i think of this in terms of a music video haha
