He's in love with a woman. They've dated on and off for a while. He loves her and wants her to stay, but he understands he's damaged goods and understands why she wouldn't want to be with him.
It's hopeful and hopeless at the same time. As they lay together he envisions a future in which she stays with him, and it fills him with hope and joy. At the same time, he sees the odds aren't great of them staying together. So he's afraid. He's upset about the seemingly random nature of relationships, and he feels frustrated because he can't get what he wants.
But in that moment, as she's spent the night and is still around the next morning, he feels happy. Hopeful. It's a vaguely hopeful song, but ultimately realistic. Which is why it's so fucking great.
That's my interpretation anyhow. Of course it's 100% correct.
