"Time has come", "Only one" - perhaps she is the last girl in the neighborhood left without a life partner. Hence she is a bit lost between her dreams and desires. And because of her stubbornness and maybe age as well, boys are avoiding her.
"Motoring" - for me it means she's driven by something. Driven like determined victim looking for justice, or addicted person in need of a drug. And she is paying an extremely high price for allowing herself to be driven by illusion, and that price is her youth, her life. She's driven by her fantasy about Mr Right. But it's just a mere illusion and the singer is trying to help her get real by saying - you'll be all right with some 'average' guy. "Tonight" means now, not in some distant future.
The force of illusion, of fantasy about vague Mr. Right is so strong, that she is missing plenty of opportunities in her life, and that is starting to worry her mother.
She is still young enough to get happy, fulfilled life, but lives a life of resignation almost like an old woman, whose time is due.
The singer is trying to help her see the reality and abandon treacherous illusions. The dreams she pursue are reality in front of her. She just needs to open her eyes. And heart.
"Christian" - for me it is quite personal, as I saw many religious or rather overly pious religious devoted girls living that illusionary way, missing opportunities. And perhaps "Sister Christian" is slowly taking a life-path of a spinster...
Although she is told how dangerous her lifestyle is, she doesn't care and still engages in such a illusionary way of living.
So, you wrote this 5 years ago. And will probably never see this post but, I must tell the internets! I'm named after this song. You're so on point! I just turned 30 years old and I am a attractive woman fit, pretty hair and skin etc. And, have always chased the illusion. Ran from wonderful men because it wasnt perfect. Weird right never really fully understood the lyrics until now. But, "I keep motorin'" Because, I have always felt that I needed to chase the impossible love story of my life. ...
