Haven’t seemed haven’t seen happy it’s gonna come to me
When it does
I don’t know where I’ll keep it at all
In my room where I sleep to keep away bad dreams
In my heart, I don’t know
Loneliness takes up all that space
So when I’m feeling low I’ll take out my check book and buy a new car
Oh that sweet distraction, that comfortable discontent, I’m in love
Andrea's in the room kicking her shoes off
Sing along, singing along
Shaking our blues off we sing
I’ve come up with a plan so brilliant
Like Times Square, mid-day
Thoughts are directed in every way
And so I’ll keep my eyes on the billboard ads displayed
Kill my heart, no fix it up
Oh those sweet distractions, inviting discontent, I’m in love
When it does
I don’t know where I’ll keep it at all
In my room where I sleep to keep away bad dreams
In my heart, I don’t know
Loneliness takes up all that space
So when I’m feeling low I’ll take out my check book and buy a new car
Oh that sweet distraction, that comfortable discontent, I’m in love
Andrea's in the room kicking her shoes off
Sing along, singing along
Shaking our blues off we sing
I’ve come up with a plan so brilliant
Like Times Square, mid-day
Thoughts are directed in every way
And so I’ll keep my eyes on the billboard ads displayed
Kill my heart, no fix it up
Oh those sweet distractions, inviting discontent, I’m in love

I don't think it has anything to do with a relationship.
rather, it sounds like he's incredibly lonely, hence incredibly unhappy.
he seems to cope with this by trying to fill his empty heart with material objects and convincing himself that he's found 'love' in them.
as for "andrea", misery loves company.
it's like, they're both in the same boat, so they keep each other company, maybe have loveless relations.
Neither of them seem to be happy.
Andrea is in the room kicking her shoes off and singing. And the both sing.
" Shaking our blues off we sing. "
Instead of getting to their problems, he invites the sweet distractions to avoid them.
He also says that he's come up with a brilliant plan.
Then he starts talking about keeping his eyes on the billboard ads.
Maybe he means, that they should take a break, he should go on the road for a while.
Kill my heart, No- fix it up could mean that he either wants to fix their relationship, or break up and try to get over the pain.
Joel and Ian would normally play their songs and just make lyrics up as they went along. While they did this song, they were at Joel's and they sang that Andrea (his wife) was kicking her shoes off.
