PS: The candy bar was chosen because the girl in the video was involved in the commercial for this candy bar. Maybe, the "bigger than us"-thing in the video was her work for the commercial and can therefore easily be used to show how she's caught in this whole thing by putting her directtly in the candy bar.
Your two posts explain exactly how I think the lyrics and video are meant to mean.
The person is fed up of the girl only wanting him at certain times, because she is caught up in everything else.

"Guilt smeared across your lips, I was tired and cold from the window
You're tired, nothing's changed."

He's trying to be with her but she is pushing him away because of 'being tired' or other reasons so he wants to go home, whether that is literal I don't know.

But yeah brilliant song from White Lies (again, like usual :D). Can't wait, going to see them in February!
Oh, you're great, you got me one more step closer to a full interpretation of the lyrics, thank you! :) The window-thing wasn't that clear to me until now. Now I literally see him pushed against a window waiting for her, staring out...
Do you have any clue about the crying horses? Since English isn't my first language, maybe I miss some kind of collocation.

Some more thing came into my mind why a candy bar was chosen for the video: Usually, everybody loves candy bars, they are sweet and have their own force of attraction. But this candy bar is way too big to eat it, you would die if you tried to eat it at one time. As you can see, the candy bar seems to be bit. So maybe this again is meant to symbolize how hard he wants her but cannot handle the whole situation and has to break of.
I never heard of the White Lies before but since I got to know this song I have to say that they are really going under my skin! :)
