My take on this song is that he met someone at the bus stop that he really likes. He hasn't made any attempts approach the person because he is either too shy or scared. Meeting this person seems to have turned his life upside down. It may be a coworker or someone he sees frequently.
It's basically about a crush that comes out of nowhere.
" you were just swinging like a dime posing with no reason and no rhyme".
"Id been waking up for quite some time
workers breaking pavement outside
then one day at the bus stop getting high
all legs and all hair dye"
He talks about how he met her and how much he wants her. He starts obsessing over this crush, as most people do, and it almost becomes a pain to him:
"this is where I realize
my trouble comes with bluest eyes"
I don't get the impression that they have any kind of relationship or history with the girl he is talking about. In fact, it seems like they have never really ever spoken to each other ever.
what do you think I am leaning on the wall?
what do you think I am, or do you think at all?
"now when I walk in the room you know its all I can do
to stare at the floor and not to look at you"
He seems to be lamenting over how he doesn't have the guts to make a move, much less even make eye contact. So he simply continues on desiring her from a distance as it were.
I agree that I don't think he has any sort of relationship with this person. I think it's someone he sees, and is totally infatuated with, but it's troubling because he can't seem to do anything about.

I'm curious to know what everything thinks the title is about "Between the rent and me." Obviously taken from the line: "there are so few things between the rent and me". Makes me think of that feeling you get when you know you should do something, but somehow you don't. Kind of frustrated for no reason sort of feeling. Which could be how...

Which could be how he feels about the person with blue eyes in the song. Someone he wants to approach but just... isn't.
For the record: This is one of my fav bands.
