This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
I got a couple addictions
But I swear that I'm coming clean
I got a new way of thinking
Yeah, you're bringing out the best in me
I got a bit of a history
But you're telling me that you don't care
I've been a bit of a mystery
The only thing that I could find around tonight was you
So come on, come on
You want to
Shut your eyes
And feel the chemicals collide
You and I tonight
You're the sugar in my high
Shut your eyes
I feel the chemicals collide
Stars and satellites
Spinnin' round and round
On the night you saved my life
I got a couple of problems
A thousand puzzles runnin' through my head
But I think that you could solve them
You're always just one step ahead
I've had a couple heartbreaks
But you're telling me that it's alright
Cause all the others were mistakes
Yeah, I think this time I finally got it right with you
So come on, come on
You want to
Shut your eyes
And feel the chemicals collide
You and I tonight
You're the sugar in my high
Shut your eyes
I feel the chemicals collide
Stars and satellites
Spinnin' round and round
On the night you saved my life
When the mornin' is breaking
And your heart is shaking
I'll remember how it feels right now
When we're lost in the moment
The sky is exploding
Just keep on floating
Shut your eyes
Feel the chemicals collide
You and I tonight
You're the sugar in my high
Shut your eyes
I feel the chemicals collide
Stars and satellites
Spinnin' round and round tonight
Shut your eyes
I feel the chemicals collide
I feel so alive
Spinnin' round and round
On the night you saved my life
But I swear that I'm coming clean
I got a new way of thinking
Yeah, you're bringing out the best in me
I got a bit of a history
But you're telling me that you don't care
I've been a bit of a mystery
The only thing that I could find around tonight was you
So come on, come on
You want to
Shut your eyes
And feel the chemicals collide
You and I tonight
You're the sugar in my high
Shut your eyes
I feel the chemicals collide
Stars and satellites
Spinnin' round and round
On the night you saved my life
I got a couple of problems
A thousand puzzles runnin' through my head
But I think that you could solve them
You're always just one step ahead
I've had a couple heartbreaks
But you're telling me that it's alright
Cause all the others were mistakes
Yeah, I think this time I finally got it right with you
So come on, come on
You want to
Shut your eyes
And feel the chemicals collide
You and I tonight
You're the sugar in my high
Shut your eyes
I feel the chemicals collide
Stars and satellites
Spinnin' round and round
On the night you saved my life
When the mornin' is breaking
And your heart is shaking
I'll remember how it feels right now
When we're lost in the moment
The sky is exploding
Just keep on floating
Shut your eyes
Feel the chemicals collide
You and I tonight
You're the sugar in my high
Shut your eyes
I feel the chemicals collide
Stars and satellites
Spinnin' round and round tonight
Shut your eyes
I feel the chemicals collide
I feel so alive
Spinnin' round and round
On the night you saved my life

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
