I think this song is about him wanting someone and he is fighting for this person but the attraction doesn't seem to be progressing. Thus the question "how long must I wait?"

This is my favorite Dr. Dog song. I hope more people will give it a listen

My interpretation, though undoubtedly incorrect, is just what I envisioned. She likes this other guy but she leads him on. She knows that the other relationship can't last and she very likely likes him. But despite him proving his love, she stays with the other. Again I know it's probably not what he was feeling but that's what it makes me feel like. I thoroughly agree with yours. And I love this song to, everything about it. Pure music.
