When the break kicks in and she sings "Hey can I go with you, my beauty number 2?" it feels like by number 2 she is referring to someone else she dates to get over the pain and to distract herself from the loss of her number 1, which didn't come home to her and got involved with someone new. So she asks #2 if she can follow him home after their date since in the first phrase she sings "Loneliness a guarantee" and as we all know being and sleeping alone in bed (which you shared with #1) after a breakup is the hardest and one needs some closeness, warmth and distraction to fall out of love and often we choose some beauty number 2 right after to get over number 1.
In the end though when she says "When the rendevous' over" at the same time she ends up swinging back and forth between realization that her love with #1 is over and denial that it can't be over:
"It's over
It's not over
No, it's not over"
Beautiful, heartfelt and sad lyrics... besides "International Dateline" my favorite song on that record.
Must add some more thoughts I missed in my last post:

The feeling of the break symbolizes for me:
Before the break it's her moaning. A retrospection of hers... how things went and why it made her lead to (the break) finally getting out of her shell trying to meet someone new. It's interesting how before she was talking to herself and then talks to that new guy (in her head). I find it amazing how artists/musicians can reflect such inner thoughts and situations into sound and make listeners understand. This song creates pictures in my head, like a scene out...
