My interpretation: Obviously this song is about Jesus and not some girl.
Jesus' sermon on the mountain, God sending Jesus to earth to shine the light (Himself)
Jesus knowing that He'd have to be crucified which would explain the "This is harder than I thought" line
And everyone else already knows it's JC not Jaycee
Now obviously this song is about a boxing match? Maybe? haha
So I'm guessing Justin vs. Jesus or religion. He's possibly struggling with religion and feels like he's therefore fighting Jesus.
The "You arrived and ordered stout, I stared in wordlessness
I just kept noticing your mouth, and how your face just fit
Into every aching void, in what I've always missed some way." Lines are possibly just the way Jesus is viewed, in the Bible Jesus is always explained as being too beautiful to fathom I guess?
Then I believe that Justin realized what Jesus is near the end because of the line "I am water on your feet" If you've read the Bible you would know how this is like the ultimate sign of love and respect. The woman who was I think either poor or a prostitute who Jesus allowed to clean his feet with her hair. Washing someone's feet was just a big thing. Then the "You are everything to me" makes me think he's leaning more to Jesus than fighting with him.
I could be wrong but again, it's just my opinion (:
I like your interpretation. I still think a girl is introduced in this section:

The medley of 'The Orient' through 'Redemption: 1' is just phenomenal. Call me crazy, but I'd put it right up there with the final third of Sgt. Peppers. It's such a shame this isn't a more widely known record.
