I think its written from an artists point of view.
They take inspiration from strangers.
"Only blue or black days
Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose"
The blue or black days represent sadness and death/mourning respectively, and the artist sees the tragedies that others face and use them as inspiration for a song or work of art. He falls in love with a snippet of a strangers life, and uses that love to create.
"Would things be easier
If there was a right way, honey there is no right way" This verse is the artist explaining his inspiration, taken from the misery and tragedy of others, by saying that there is no right way to be inspired.
