... Am I the only one that thinks that this song is about him being shot down? It sounds to me like he's saying she's a lesbian because he's embarrassed that she's not interested in him.
"Heaven ain't close in a place like this" I always heard it as him being at a sleazy bar.
"Breakin' my back just to know your name" Trying to get her to be interested in him, but she keeps rebuffing him.
"You have a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend that I had..." Insinuating she's going out with a girl. Obviously this girl isn't going out with him anymore, so that could be part of it too.
"Rushing, rushing around" He's telling people she's a lesbian so he doesn't have to admit he got shot down.
