As delial was getting at "you find so wonderful could want you when you feel so ugly yourself" is pretty much the overlaying meaning of the song.
When you are so in love with someone you practically warship their existance. They "inspire fireworks" (or intense feelings inside of you). He wishes that he was a better person equal to that if which adornment he places on his love. "to be worthy of one single page out of one of those magazines you read"--a feeling of insignifcance.
The beauty in the song isn't so much physical appearance as an overall exceptional quality of a person. An inner beauty formulated through an intense love.
Only thing I'm not complete sure about is near the end the 'dream about the bus'... the lyrics are beautiful but I don't really undestand the significance of dreaming that the woman he loved turned into something he didnt.
If I had to take a stab I would guess that the man is worshiping the woman from afar, is close, but she probably doesn't know how he feels because he is feeling too insignificant to engage her. Which could be why he has to dream about her.
