I think it's about watching someone that's on a stage, literal or figuratively, people adore that person, everyone wants them, as does she. But she's actually in love with that person, more than just superficial. I think the person she's singing about is getting an ego from it, hence "come down to me." And to not let the fame and attention get to them. Then she tries to go home, to get away from the feelings but it stays with her no matter where she goes. She tries to explain her feelings through a song, through written word. She's hoping he sees how she feels, yet she doesn't for fear of rejection because "I can't have you for mine and I know it." She tries to minimize the pain by saying "Don't let it shake you.." because she already knows he won't want her. She's just among everyone else that vies for that person.
Great song.
