Lyric discussion by salsashark2004 

i take this song to be about a person who is longing to be with someone without noticing that there is someone else ("the obvious heart") that they've known for a long time ("there's a remedy close, in a familiar dose") who is really what they need. but the person is so caught up in their feelings ("so full of yourself") that nothing else registers, even the fact that being without the person they're longing for isn't as bad as they make it out to be ("this heart is not a broken one")

@salsashark2004 It's a really good song. I agree with you on the meaning of the song.
