I think the song is about wanting live a non-phony life (as talked about in the Catcher in the Rye), wanting to have real experiences and real, meaningful relationships. I think the sentece "I've been searching for just a little more" perhaps means that he isn't satisfied with the superficialness of other relationships. You know that life is short ("Though the days girl just slip away"), and therefore you want to see "the mind's eye" - the real things - before it's too late, to have the feeling that this life is not a total waste of time. I might be wrong, but then again I am Norwegian, so my Englsigh skills aren't as good as yours. But anyway, it's a beautiful song. I don't care who they sound like, I love it anyway.
