"the sun is gone" might be interpreted as 'it's not the same without her.' Those stirring emotions are probably sadness and/or jealousy.

She's seeing other guys- emotions they stir. The lines "did you think that I would cry on the phone? Do you know what it feels like, being alone?" are almost like him saying that being alone is a pain beyond tears. Chorus But Im a fire and Ill keep your brittle heart warm If your cascade, ocean wave blues come All these people think loves for show But I would die for you in secret The devils in the. It also seems like he was with his old girlfriend for a long time- "the notes are old, they bend, they fold." I'm gonna find it and play it while you swing. But now, he wants this other girl to help him forget about his lost love ("can you help me find a way to carry on again?", "and so do I to a new love.") PARIS : (feeling the impact of the lyrics already on Thomas's situation) I know that song. Well, I see it like this: this guy was going out with a girl, but she broke his heart ("my heart is crushed by a former love").
