I wonder if this song is an explanation of why so much of M. Ward's music is based on older types of songs.
The first stanzas are about a loss of innocence: "Well I been pushed to the edge", "I got stripped of my soul".
I'm guessing the type of music that he plays is similar to the type that he listened to as a child (ie, his parent's music). So, now he's trying to bring those feelings back by singing that type of music into a microphone and over the radio. He hopes to bring that "peace of mind" back.
Of course, "my little peace of mind" fits perfectly well for a girl that he lost too. But lots of older songs use the construct of a song about a relationship to talk about other subjects.
