At first: Welcome on board! :) My guess is, that the song is from Charles perspective since it also played in his vault. It takes place on the night, Ali wents missing and the person Charles searches for is most likely either Ali or Bethany. The line "I I go out walkin' after midnight, just like we used to do" suggests that he snuck out of Radley at night before with someone else, perhaps together with Bethany.

I´m not sure about "Well, that's just my way of sayin' I love you". Charles doesn´t seem to love Ali very much, since he probably went to Rosewood that night to kill her.

The line "I'm lonesome as I can be" emphasizes his loneliness and sadness about being outcasted by his family. And "just hoping you may be somewhere a-walkin' after midnight, searchin' for me" hints that he wishes someone would search for him, or care about his whereabouts.

"I stop to see a weepin' willow, cryin' on his pillow. Maybe he's cryin' for me." underlines again his desperation.
