I think it's about a girl who is bisexual, but more romantically lesbian. When she's with a guy, she doesn't get so twisted up inside over him. When she's with a girl, though, the drama of the relationship spills over into the operations of the whole band. So, Louise's bandmate has got herself a new, young girlfriend, and Louise wants her to find a boyfriend instead.
I'm pretty sympathetic to the interpretation that this is about drugs, too. Particularly, the lyrics, "I'll wait till summer's over/ I'll love you through October" seem to lend themselves to that interpretation. Louise will put up with his or her drug use until the end of the tour season, but if he or she doesn't get straight after that, then Louise will have to reconsider the relationship. It might be a little of both interpretations working in there.
