If I recall correctly, Neil Young learned about Kurt Cobain's suicide, where Mr. Cobain had quoted a Neil Young song lyric (from "My My, Hey Hey") in his suicide note. Neil Young was so horrified by that, that he sat down and composed this song, or something like that.

i like to look for a romantic meaning to all songs but i do think i'd be correct here. i think it's about a strong love where someone has never been loved before. they always thought they had been but it was toxic and they never realised until they met this person. they feel vulnerable, happy and understood but in a way that makes them fear it all. i think this is a person trying to express how they feel for the first time but still wary of being hurt again.

'seems to me, i'm exactly where i dreamed i...
'seems to me, i'm exactly where i dreamed i would be' says the most to me. i think it's signifying that it was always something they wanted but in their head would never happen to them for whatever reason makes them insecure.
similarly, 'never saw it coming' 'i don't know where to turn' represents how they never believed this kind of experience to actually exist and now they want to talk to someone else about it but don't trust anyone but the person they are singing about. being in love can feel very alone to someone holding deep trauma and i think this is what the writer is experiencing.
beautiful song that has been stuck in my head at the moment and has guided me through a lot.
I’m very surprised there is no indication of who wrote these lyrics, obviously Kerr, and no copyright attribution. I INSIST on those two things to reprint my lyrics. The song was written in 1991.

I like HonestMan’s comments about the descending numbers and shrinking verses, I’d not spotted that. I think those numbers matter.

The lyrics have a Springsteen quality about them ala ATLANTIC CITY don’t they? I don’t think this is three stories. I think this is one story in three acts with a narrative rather like a David Lynch film such as WILD AT HEART. ...

Note that WILD AT HEART was released in 1990 so there may have been some inspiration there.
He sees and has heard about love shining on other people, but he hasn't had the light shine on him yet and he's asking what it is, or he has been in the dark for too long.

I think this song is about actively confronting the pressures of society. I think the song is also addressing exile. The instrumental spatially carries the lyrics along like they are running or are let loose.

'Brown sugar ice in our veins' is a metaphor that could translate to 'cold unrefined energy' that is maybe lucid, heavy and rapid, pulsing through a persons body or prehaps the veins of the air in their surroundings. Because the lyrics are abstract, it is logical to think that the meaning behind them are not at face value, they are more about strong physical sensations and feelings and thoughts.

When I first heard this song, I thought it was like every day, the character lost the memories of the day before. So when it says, "She told me each and every day..." her name is because he never remembered her, and maybe only fragments of memories stayed. And when it says, "I can’t recall where I slept that night" it's because he can never remember the day before. I think it's pretty cool.
