I don't believe this song is about a lover, but rather a daughter.
He talks about imaginary things throughout the song, such as the "cowboy in my hair", the "spy in the chimney", the "puppy in your leash", the "frog kissing your hand"; all these sound taken out of juvenile stories, ones a father would tell to his daughter.
To me, this is a song about a father trying to keep his daughter's love and approval; to remain the "tallest man in [her] eyes".

and no, it's not a "creepy stalker song".
