I feel this song is about lonliness and seeking acceptance. The first stanza mentions 'I like watching the puddles gather rain' suggests that he has nobody to spend his time with so with this extra free time he enjoys the little things such as watching rain. "pour some tea for two" is followed directly by by referring to himself as insane. This could mean that he is almost schizophrenic as in pouring tea for an extra non existant person then tells that person his opinions, for nobody else will listen. The beginning of the chorus is pretty basic, his desire for companionship and end his lonliness/sadness. The second part of the chorus explains how he doesnt understand why he sleeps all day, which entails how he is unaware of some of his actions. it then alludes to the rain in the first verse, because he enjoys watching the rain, and complains when theres no rain. The second verse gets interesting, he starts referring to a "you" as in "you dont like my point of view". This suggests that as opposed to just lack of companionship, some of this lonliness is connected with loss of love. Earlier in the song it refers to a great escape. These could connect, as in he is escaping from his sadness from his loss. These observations aren't definite, they are merely spectulations. I base these upon the lyrics and the official music video. This is still my favorite song and blind melon rocks.
If you feel I'm inaccurate in my interpretation, please tell me your opinion.

well, I think that he was talking about his own insanity.
