Paul dedicated this to George Harrisoin because he felt that, during the making of the song, George was present in spirit. I don't know about that but anyway this song sounds sad despite the cheerful melody. Afte rall, the main character feels quite isolated and shy. "I've spent a lot of time on my own" - it sounds like a 40-ton-truck all over you and it's still a pop song. The narrator seems to be attached to someone else (whose friends he doesn't want to know anything about), maybe someone who actually cares for him, which causes him to face his normal state of isolation...
It's hard to describe because it's perfectly constructed, the imagery it evokes is very powerful indeed. I can totally relate to the lyrics.
You're right!
