I'm not sure if "Everything But The Girl" or whoever owns the copyright on the "Missing" song will be happy to find this line here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4sPkS8b62Q#t=50
So, @possible copyright violation

Is this really a phrase that a native speaker could not produce freely in an appropriate sort of conversation? The metaphor seems really obvious. (Well, you can't copyright generic sentences, hopefully. Else how are we gonna speak at all?)

I have no idea. I'm not a native speaker and probably because of that I have never heard this line other than in the mentioned song.
