 Yes I think you're correct in your interpretation, and I believe
 also that the lyrics indicate something of the singer's feelings.
 The Garden lists the lyrics as "I've called him by every name I
 know, By every name I know" but to me it sounds more like "I've
 called him every name I know, By every name I know". In my case
 calling someone every name I know would mean I was very angry
 with that person, although Kate's tone reflects impatience and
 frustration rather than outright anger.
