My interpretation is that this guy is only happy at night, all by himself, in his cozy little house, when he's asleep, dreaming about this girl. I wanna say he's lost her but still can't stop thinking of her all the goshdarn effing time, especially in his dreams or as visions when he gets all excited thinking she's actually there but then realizes it's his imagination. Then all day long he goes through the motions of his life in a daze/in the zone, incomplete, thinking of her ("Heading home kicking stones on the ride"). I'm still trying to figure out the part about "the girls in the trees have the faces of angels." Maybe that's another indication of his loneliness -- he sees all these other girls around who are beautiful and it just reinforces his loneliness. This song is lovesick and a half. Best song ever.
