I disagree with the previous comment. The meaning of the song is so straightforward.
Gaga works a job that requires her to travel a lot. She is saying that even though she loves travelling and seeing the world, being constantly on the go, her "gypsy" life, it's so hard to have a relationship with this man she truly loves.
It's easier to "just be friends" when you can't maintain a relationship like this.
She's saying "I don't wanna be alone forever, but I can be tonight" . She loves her gypsy life (touring) even though it means she has to be alone, and so for that reason she will sacrifice being alone tonight, even though its not a lifestyle she can maintain forever.
