i can't believe i'm the first person to comment on this song, it's so beautiful. anyways, i tend to think in images when i hear songs, and the image i got in this one was the singer going off to a "big city" (la, nyc) to try to make it big... and she's left someone she loves behind. even though she's done well, "when the lights go down," even though she's celebrating in a crowd and should be happy, she still missing that person, and would "rather be coming back home." So, she's telling that person that's she's okay but misses them and what matters most to her is that they still love her, and are waiting for her...
Also, I think there's a mistake... it should be, "my own little natural high"
