Since no one has said anything about potential meanings, I'm going to take a crack at it. For me, it's a song about impossible love - about two people who are in love but can't be together, for any number of reasons. The two people know how great it could be but they can't have each other. Hence, they can look at the menu (see the other person, perhaps) but they can't eat (be together). They have the last piece of the puzzle (the other person) but they're not able to put it where it goes (into their lives). I like all the metaphors he finds to describe this situation.
I'm pretty sure the riff is done with a synth, but yes - it is great. I like his vocals, too.
Yes, @jenbebe, you nailed it. Very clear to me. I think people sometimes look for the most far-fetched meanings in a song when the actual meaning is right in front of them. Thanks for sharing.

@jenbebe It has nothing to do with women or romantic love. Her does not mean a woman it is the ethereal feeling of yearning.
