Stormgirl's intergpretation is the obvious one of course, and the first to come to mind when hearing the song. But when I saw the videocip for this song I was surprised to discover he is actually talking about music/guitar! The clip shows him running for most of the song and at the end you think he'll find the girl but no, he stops running, picks his guitar from the ground and starts playing! If you think about it it makes sense, a lot of musicians think of their music as their "other" lover and approach the playing of an instrument as making love.
