When the song was asked about in an interview, an uncomfortable Dave (who was being interviewed singularly) averted his eyes from the camera and glanced at the floor. He remarked that the song was personal. (The interview was: "Interview exclusive - See the Foo Fighters talk through their new album on camera.")
Though on a kind of ridiculous take...It is known that Dave's into UFOs, aliens, etc. I remember reading that when Dave was a kid he used to lie out on the grass (in his backyard?) and yell, "Come and take me!" So as a more ridiculous and silly interpretation, the "Are you there/Can you read me" seems to be referencing that.
Interesting insight, HorustheHorizon.
This song is a real puzzle to me.
