If you take a step, I will make you sure that you take the next
If you tell a lie, I'll just nod my head, yeah, I'll let it slide
Cause you woke me up, and there's birds outside, and I still feel drunk
But I'm glad you did, cause last night you weren't making that much sense.
You said you wanna die, now you say you wanna live
You said you loved me after fourty five minutes
If this is all a game can you just say it is?
I'll do it anyway, so it makes no difference
We should order up, wash the wine out of the coffee cup
They got bread and fruit, there's probably not much else for you.
We can lay around, you can kiss me til the maids come kick us out.
It's eleven now so make every second count
But back in New York they can't ever find this out
There are things we do, that we're really not allowed
We can say anything, but we just can't say it loud.
I hope you always find someone to take you home
To put you into bed, kiss your cheek, and check your pulse
Make sure you're still breathing, with their hand up to your nose
I wish that could be me, but it's just not possible.
If you tell a lie, I'll just nod my head, yeah, I'll let it slide
Cause you woke me up, and there's birds outside, and I still feel drunk

To sum it up, pretty much that hes embarrassed about it all, especially the fact that he got more out of it than he would have wanted...
idk. i wouldn't kick out the other guy idea though. im just leaning towards more of drunken one night stand.
The literal take on the song is that he's had a one night stand, and he's away from home.
I'd say that the subtext is that, the event wasn't exactly meaningful for him, she's a got a few things going on his life, and he feels a bit of animosity about that, has she really had such a hard time of things or is she just making it up for drama's sake.
Then he's going along with things that morning, he know's he's going he hope's she'll make the most of it. I'd say the line: "They got bread and fruit, there's probably not much else for you." is definitely not about her eating preferences... more "don't expect much more from me"
That last bit sounds like it's about guilt, perhaps he cheated on someone back home, or perhaps he felt that he took advantage of this girl somehow. Hence the stuff about wishing her well.
Then again it's possible, but irrelevant for the meaning. It means the same thing whether it's a guy or girl.
