I think it's a song about meeting someone and realizing that you're quickly falling in love with them, and being afraid that they won't feel the same way. But she decides that what she stands to gain if they do is worth the risk of getting hurt, and is trying to work up the courage to tell them how she feels. So when she finds him in the garden and he calls her "Sugar" she feels a sense of relief at the term of endearment and is filled with that sense of bliss that you get when love really starts blooming and she doesn't want the night to end, hence the lines about the endless night and lassoing the moon to keep it from coming to an end.
Lovethatsong, I agree with you that apriluofa totally nailed the meaning of this song.
Lovethatsong, I agree with you that apriluofa totally nailed the meaning of this song.
The chorus states the moments leading up to an event (sun before the burn, thunder before lightning, breath before the kiss, walk before the run)... i interpret that to be the fear someone falling in love can have during that one split second before asking the phrase "Have you ever felt this way?". Putting yourself out there is very hard to do and sometimes you have to look fear in the face and say "I just don't care."

Cliche love ballad or not this is probably the most beautiful love songs Pink has ever wrote and preformed thus far.
