I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
Somehow you fell out of time
Boy you lost your place in line
But don't even try
To drag me down too
I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you
One star rises, one falls from the sky
You're still hiding the way you feel inside
One word closer to things we need to say
One cut deeper to tear the past away
You think I don't know your mind
But I know fools don't change with time
Until the warning signs
Come out of the blue
I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you
One light's burning - another fades away
Don't stand watching your dream go down in flames
One step closer, the door is open wide
Come tomorrow we'll see the other side
On and on until we change
Everything remains the same
On and on until we learn
On and on the wheels will turn...
Wounded words and eyes that lie
You won't let your demons die
Take a look inside
Or you're gonna lose
I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you
I'm talkin' to you
Whatever you do, the last laugh's on you
On and on until we change
Everything remains the same
On and on until we learn
On and on the wheels will turn...
Somehow you fell out of time
Boy you lost your place in line...
One star rises one star falls
Do you even care at all? ... this time
I'm talkin' to you
I'm talkin' to you
Boy you lost your place in line
But don't even try
To drag me down too
I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you
One star rises, one falls from the sky
You're still hiding the way you feel inside
One word closer to things we need to say
One cut deeper to tear the past away
You think I don't know your mind
But I know fools don't change with time
Until the warning signs
Come out of the blue
I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you
One light's burning - another fades away
Don't stand watching your dream go down in flames
One step closer, the door is open wide
Come tomorrow we'll see the other side
On and on until we change
Everything remains the same
On and on until we learn
On and on the wheels will turn...
Wounded words and eyes that lie
You won't let your demons die
Take a look inside
Or you're gonna lose
I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you
I'm talkin' to you
Whatever you do, the last laugh's on you
On and on until we change
Everything remains the same
On and on until we learn
On and on the wheels will turn...
Somehow you fell out of time
Boy you lost your place in line...
One star rises one star falls
Do you even care at all? ... this time
I'm talkin' to you
I'm talkin' to you

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart

In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
