One of my favorite songs, though I've not thought of an interpretation beyond the wordless crush on a girl in a bar. What if he is actually focusing on a different girl in the bar with each stanza? The narrator is lonely and wants that "love at first sight" feeling so he keeps wondering if he's found it until the final stanza.
