I have listened to this song a ton of times, and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of it. It is about a guy who has an addiction to narcs, probably heroin, which he describes in several places. Sometimes "he walks the street behind of green sheet of glass" refers to him walking around while high and feeling completely separated from all the hustle and bustle around him. All the references to being "low" are just another adjective to describe the high, where you are so calm and relaxed and cocooned that you are operating at an existence much lower than everyone else. So low that you are "a million miles below their feet".
Anyways, a new love has come into his life. This girl doesn't do that stuff, and sometimes he wishes she did it with him, asking her "don't you wanna go down? / a million miles below their feet?" But he still is very happy with her despite her choice to stay away from the drugs. In fact, being with her is comparable to tthe high he feels.
