I disagree with the two previous ideas completely. It's not about a failing marriage, or about sleep. It's about a couple, but one of them is either going crazy or feels like she's going crazy.
"There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
I tell her that I miss our little talks" (The "other" side of her)
"Go go go away
I wish you'd disappear"
"Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same"
"Some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way"
She can't trust her own mind, her partner is worried
and the last verse solidifies this idea for me:
"'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore"
even if she can't tell what's true, what is real and what isn't, their love/relationship will keep them safe and everything will be fine in the end. Just my opinion. [:
I completely agree with this. As a person who periodically gets anxiety attacks, I have to say that the girl's lines describe rather accurately what it feels like. You feel isolated, confused, you push others away, and you doubt yourself on everything. The guy is talking her down from it and trying to get her back to the person he knows she really is.

I interpreted this song like that too. The thing about the "Go/gone away" part is that this is a duet song, so it can present conflicting ideas from the singers or a sort of agreement, like in the chorus. In this case I think it might be "Go away" because that fits with the tone of the rest of her lines.
I'm guessing the ship sort of means that in the end, they have faith that they will return shaken but safe, like a ship after a storm, back to peaceful sanity, acceptance, etc, depending on how you interpret it....
