Definitely think this is about a relationship that has ended the girl is not giving it up. She "sleeps fitfully", thinking of her lover and just wants to make him proud and try to give up the relationship. She finds a stranger to become intimate with but, in the end, the original guy is all that she wants.
"And if she dreams she dreams of / the sounds you'll never speak" is one of my favorite lyrics. Still keeping in line with the fact that she sleeps fitfully, her head filled with thoughts of her lost lover and only desiring to hear their voice again, but knowing that she lost him.
