In a live version I have of this she says "this song is about a really sexy girl. Or dude, or whatever you wanna call it."

I agree with HappySoul. I think the song is about being in love with a person who is preoccupied with their addictions. "i'll wait 'til summer's over i'll love you through october i'll give you everything i'll trade you anything for her" These lines show her devotion towards her lover. She is letting him know she'll be there forever, but would give anything to trade places with the drugs in his life. She wants to be his preoccupation

This is one of the first few Veruca Salt songs I heard! I love Veruca Salt. Anyway... I think this song is about a guy who uses a lot of drugs and he's not really spending time with his girl because of it so it's like he's dating the drugs and not her.
