I definitely understand it being about a girl but to me at least this song is about pure inspiration.

The "girl" is his muse, that comes from a romantic, pure place in him. They say that inspiration is linked to your subconscious and that's why there are so many references to songs from artists and musicians. That's no different here.

It refreshes him, it drives him, it keeps him grounded and separate from the world's problems.

The reason he's so tangled up about it is that what she's "saying" to him - the inspiration part - sometimes escapes him. Also because he loves having the experience but not applying it practically, ie he loves dreaming it, but not producing it.

Read thru them again, keeping these things in mind, every line makes sense in this interpretation.

Anyway that's my take.. Either way... absolutely wonderful song...
