I always saw this song as a couple trying to cope and find solace in each other during a war or the apocalypse. "I'll be with you behind the couch when they come", 'they' always seemed like soldiers to me. And why else would you be behind the couch but to hide? And all the "stay inside til somebody finds us, do whatever the TV tells us" makes me think of warnings that the news would give you, telling you to stay inside and keep a low profile etc. I don't know. That's just what I think.
