Just read it again from that perspective, it works for me that way, this is a woman identifying with other women. All the ones that aren't so lucky to have escaped the drudgery of the every day. They all have all their dreams, desires and secrets. She knows she's lucky to have escaped the waitress but feels for all the women who haven't. It's a love song to her kind.
