This song sounds like someone who is very insecure with himself, or his looks. He's sitting in Santa Monica, where apparently all the "beautiful people" are, and they're so athletic and incredibly fit... he wishes to be one of them, to fit it and be one of the beautiful people.
But on the "telephone line" (actual phone/internet) he can be whoever he wants to be. He can be a good-looking, well-liked guy.
And this is where I start thinking this guy is like a phone/net stalker. It's a little creepy. Maybe he keeps setting up blind dates from the phone (probably not the internet, this song is a few years old) but wusses out before he meets them.

Kind of a sad song, if you think about it.
