The song is the story of a man who gets drunk and is telling the woman that he loves that he loves her. He's saying that although he may pretend in the morning that he doesn't remember saying it and that he may act awkwardly around her but that he needs to say this to her. He mentions that in the past he has almost said it so many times but always avoids it and regrets it later and that now, because he is drunk, he finally has the courage to tell her. He apologizes for the "sloppy" confession and says that at least for this night he is going to hold her and have his love be known by her even if he will pretend to have forgotten by the time the sun comes up the next day. It's really a beautiful song that I will be spending a lot more time listening to. I identify with it particularly because there ave been a lot of times in my life when I cared more about someone than they gave about me and this song demands so much emotion to sing it, no matter who's interpreting it. I hope that my meaning is ok and resonates with you somehow and that it will encourage you to listen to the sogn mor carefully.
