Looks like I'm the first to comment on this one and for some reason that makes me nervous! This is especially true because I haven't got a clue what the song means and I came here hoping to find out. But I'll have a bit of a guess:

I would like to see someone go through the lyrics line by line and explain the intention.

The rest of the verses aren't so clear, and suggest the narrator is dreaming of what life could be ... it is very dreamy and wistful (doesn't seem much standing in reality).
