Love The One You're With Lyrics

It sounds to me like the song is about how you should stop chasing the dreams you have about your ideal person and be more open and accepting of alternative options. It does kind of sound depressing that you can't be with the one you want. But if you think about it, it is sort of like a message to move on, to get your head out of the clouds and be with someone real.

I had the same thought about this song, but seems like we're in the minority.
