I think that this song means how when someone loves something so dearly, they don't want to fall asleep; fearing that they won't be able to wake up to see the person or thing they love. The stanza starting with, "The papers around me..." I think, has to do with how Regina incorporates references to literature in some of her songs. I love this song so much, it's my favorite, especially because I feel that this song is closer to Regina than most of her songs.
