I think there are two stories going on here.
There's a girl, who the narrator is dating while waiting for his love to 'come around' meaning either to come back, or to change her mind about him. I think the twist is, that while he thinks he is using her, she is using him. "you are the one who's making do" shows that she is using him while going after someone else, the one who did his thing at Cana, the one she has been there since the beginning for. She doesn't get really involved with anyone, including the narrator, because she's waiting for the other guy, but this doesn't pay off and she's "left on the shelf."
There's probably a second meaning in the "woken up when skies are clear" lines, about only making a move when there's no obstacles... But I can't get my silly head around it. In summary, the narrator and the girl are together while both of them waits for/ longs after another person.
