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.
We want to be alone tonight
'til early in the morning light
Out in the open you are here
Adventures in paradise
We want to be alone tonight
'til early in the morning light
Exploring what the nature brings
Adventures in paradise
Adventures in paradise
Oh give me what I need tonight
Oh you know what I want tonight
Oh give me what I need tonight
Adventures in paradise
We want to be alone tonight
'til early in the morning light
Exploring what the nature brings
Adventures in paradise
Adventures in paradise
Oh give me what I need tonight
Oh you know what I want tonight
Oh give me what I need tonight
Adventures in paradise
Oh give me what I need tonight
Oh you know what I want tonight
Oh give me what I need tonight
Adventures in paradise
When the moon is at its height
And nobody is in sight
We're hiding from the world we used to like
And will stories then be told
Of what we did here tonight
You will always be my number one
Oh give me what I need tonight
Oh you know what I want tonight
Oh give me what I need tonight
Adventures in paradise
Oh give me what I need tonight
(give me what I need tonight)
Oh you know what I want tonight
('Cause you know what I need tonight)
Oh give me what I need tonight
(give me what I need tonight)
Adventures in paradise
Oh give me what I need tonight
Oh you know what I want tonight
Oh give me what I need tonight
Adventures in paradise
Oh give me what I need tonight
(give me what I need tonight)
Oh you know what I want tonight
('Cause you know what I need tonight)
Oh give me what I need tonight
(give me what I need tonight)
'til early in the morning light
Out in the open you are here

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.
This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.
She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end.
So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.
There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.
