when i first heard this song, it seemed to me that maybe it was about a guy who was more invested in a relationship than the girl he's with. he's been single/alone for a long time, and then she came around. he's ready to jump in and be with her, but he's not getting the same response. he calls her his girlfriend, but she doesn't exactly consider their relationship that serious, maybe? "i say it outloud but you just don't care." you know, the test of seeing how serious things are with someone you're seeing is to refer to them as your girl/boyfriend and wait for their reaction. haha, i mean, the unspoken test.
and the "farewell 'til you know me well" part always stood out to me as he's going to back off until she decides to step it up and come around.
but the dry spell idea is definitely believable. and an amusing idea for such an upbeat and pretty song.
