I think the song's talking about a guy moving, and leaving his girl behind, "I stand tempted to throw it all away", his job, other friends, just for her. And then all that "need to find my way back home again", it could be metaphorical, probably is. Then when he says "Another lonely day as the sunlight turns to haze", who hasnt just stared off somewhere and thought about someone? That's my thake on it.
