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.
Says she's got another life
That I am living in my friend
Through and through she says
It's nothing I can change
I always was the one
The celebration ends without a sound
And the friends they're not around
And you find you're all alone
Talking to yourself again
You promised it's the end
Just one night
You'll be fine
Cause in the end the dreams you dream
Are all you ever were
She's got another life that I am living in my friend
Through and through she says it's nothing I can change
I always was the one
And she'll say,
"Come on I'd like to buy the world a Coke
and lie here naked with my girl"
"Come on I'd like to buy the world a Coke
and lie here naked with my girl"
The lights dim once again some day I'll sleep
Cause it's all the same to me
this tiny voice inside my head keeps me awake
Come on let's find the cure
Come on let's die until we live
In the end you'll find how high you climbed
There's no design to ever bring you down
She's got another life that I am living in my friend
Through and through she says it's nothing I can change
She always was the one
And I'll say,
"Come on I'd like to buy the world a Coke
and lie here naked with my girl"
"Come on I'd like to buy the world a Coke
and lie here naked with my girl"
And she knows
And she knows
And she knows
And she knows..
I gotta buy the world a coke
I gotta buy the world a coke
And lie her naked with my girl
(And she knows, and she knows, and she knows)
That I am living in my friend
Through and through she says
It's nothing I can change
I always was the one
The celebration ends without a sound
And the friends they're not around
And you find you're all alone
Talking to yourself again
You promised it's the end
Just one night
You'll be fine
Cause in the end the dreams you dream
Are all you ever were
She's got another life that I am living in my friend
Through and through she says it's nothing I can change
I always was the one
And she'll say,
"Come on I'd like to buy the world a Coke
and lie here naked with my girl"
"Come on I'd like to buy the world a Coke
and lie here naked with my girl"
The lights dim once again some day I'll sleep
Cause it's all the same to me
this tiny voice inside my head keeps me awake
Come on let's find the cure
Come on let's die until we live
In the end you'll find how high you climbed
There's no design to ever bring you down
She's got another life that I am living in my friend
Through and through she says it's nothing I can change
She always was the one
And I'll say,
"Come on I'd like to buy the world a Coke
and lie here naked with my girl"
"Come on I'd like to buy the world a Coke
and lie here naked with my girl"
And she knows
And she knows
And she knows
And she knows..
I gotta buy the world a coke
I gotta buy the world a coke
And lie her naked with my girl
(And she knows, and she knows, and she knows)

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
