I LOVE the 2nd verse: "her sleep is troubled/ her face will twitch/ she wakes up angry/ and I'm bewitched." I've had dreams before in which I was so infuriated that it carried over once I was awake; in one, my dad forced me to do my sister's laundry - I was so mad when I woke up that I kicked my sister, with whom I was sharing a room & bed at the time.
In any case, I agree with tbaumgar. The line about kissing the street (instead of the girl's face, which is deceptively reflected in the puddle) sort of indicates disappointed expectations of a partner-- that she'll be there, when in fact she's checked out already.
