For me this song is about someone, whos struggling to take the leap towards the life he wants to live and hes made for. He found a girl that he desperately wants to be with and he is afraid to make that step towards her. For he always worries about too many things, he carries the world on his shoulders even tho he is not responsible for every problem in the world. I think hes making things too complicated by thinking too much about them. He is adviced to be himself and not act cool in order to win the girl's heart. Also the change towards the desired life is all on his shoulders, saying he alone has the power to get what he seeks. He just has to take that leap.
This is what this song means to me, not what McCartney or anybody said what it is about.
I absolutely think you are highlighting some great points. About 90-95% of these comments highlight how this is related to divorce or family issues and drugs. While McCartney may have been influenced emotionally by these factors, I think this song was made for a different purposes. And Some people care about the tune (yes it may be catchy of course, but that's not the only thing that matters).

Yes the tune is an iconic one and this song will be forever a historic piece.

But if you look closely at this song, it can have a pretty powerful message. Especially for those who relate to it most. In a smiple straightforward way- Linewalker put it in good words. It is about making steps forward in your own life and letting the strong Love you have potentially found mold you into becoming a stronger person. Being lonely and stuck can be the worst feeling, but using a desire a motivation can be a great thing. Especially if you are lucky enough to find a very special woman/girl. One you would undeniably crave to perform with. One who sticks with you even if you haven't gotten to know her too well. It could be like having a lightbulb through the haze. She might be original (which can be very attractive), may be sharp, creative, calm/peaceful, a free-spirit, loyal, have a lot of depth or (any of these special kind of traits) and sometimes that is what us people truly look for. Companionships are harder to come across these days.

And sometimes you have to go on your own personal journey to reach a companionship of some kind.
