Being a musician and having spent countless hours "Breakin' my back" just to come up with the name of a song. I can honestly say that it can be hell (Heaven ai't close in a place like this). After recording "Seveteen tracks" you get tired of the game, especially the ones management nd producers play.
"Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss" Even after hours recording you have to stay alert or you will screw up a track.
"Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight" Get your groove going on the track you're recording "Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight" When recording don't let your thoughts become side tracked.
The chorus is a metaphor. After spending hours on a song, somebody told you the song sounds too much like like a song that was written by another artist. "It's not confidential" it's been playing on the radio. But don't worry, with a bit of re-write your song as potential.
"[Chorus]
Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential"
Ready let's roll onto something new (Move to the next track)
Takin' it's toll then I'm leaving without you (Just too burned out to finish a tune) because it's been hell "Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this"
"A rushing, rushing around" meeting the demands of the record label.
"Pace yourself for me - I said maybe, baby, please" Trying to buy time from the label.
"But I just don't know now - When all I want to do is try" After awhile you do want to give up bu something inside keeps driving you.
This is definitely the best interpretation I've seen so far. Like igywigie said, the "seventeen tracks" line is pretty much a giveaway.

I know that feeling of writing something, only to realize a few weeks later that it sounds uncannily similar to another artist's tune. The more years that pass, the more music is made and the fewer original melodies we'll have..maybe that's why so much of the music and movies industries are comprised of rehashes nowadays.

@itsmymusic Seems forced. Especially when you are implying that one line is literal in the entire song while everything else is metaphorical.
