At the fray concert I went to it took them over 10 mins to play this song. It was full of such emotion and feeling but all the members of the band. Halfway through Isaac stopped singing and told the story of why he wrote it. He said something like: We usually work through songs for months or years with everyone in the band before we fine tune a song. This song came to me in 10 mins when my wife was away in Australia. I was so sad and just wanted to be with her and this got me thinking about what made me happy, what made me sad and all that stuff. So I wrote this song.
So when he says "But you are gone- not for good but for now, Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good", he is refering to his wife, same with "Let it go, live your life and leave it, then one day wake up and she'll be home". The song is Isaac reflecting on what makes him happy and just happiness in general.
