I think this song is about a girl and guy who have been in a monogamous relationship, and it seems that the girl thinks she is too "good" for the guy and decides she wants an out of the relationship-and wants to try her other "options". The way he sings about her other "options" make it seem like these may be bad guys, who are leading her into bad things, or taking advantage of her, and she thinks that this is what she wants-but he knows her, and knows this isn't what she truly wants at all. Then in the next verse,
"She can't hold her own
Who would have known?
She is misery's company
She got no place to go
No place to call home
She got misery's company"
he seems to be talking about how now that she has traded true love for her other "options" she is unhappy, and hurt, but maybe still not willing to admit she fucked up? It seems that in this song she shuns him out, as many people do, when she realizes she makes this mistake. He seems to be missing and waiting for her thus the "She only comes to me in my dreams, so sleep becomes addicting."
