This seems like a plea to the muse to return. The speaker's bummed that he can't recreate the feelings he used to have about music. Then there's a transistion "That's when I knew, knew they never got you". He knows the original feeling of joy and authenticity "don't come cheap" and inspiration doesn't always flow like a tap. One has to work for the deep, genuine feeling of music ("I got a feeling, it didn't come free"). There's a lot of truth in this song.
