He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Cool my brains and soothe my head
Stimulate me, my co-co-co
Sneak into my empty bed
And educate me, my co-co-co
In the summer, in the spring
In public places, my co-co-co
On an island far away
Lemonade with my co-co-co
And when I was down and failing life
You came to save me, my co-co-co
And when they said I'm telling lies
You believed me, my co-co-co
And through the noise I heard a song
You were singing, my co-co-co
And when you said that nothing's wrong
I believed you, my co-co-co
But you were gone when I came through
And I remember you first
Well someday I'll dance with you
When I'm dreaming, my co-co-co
I sat alone and I didn't care
I sat two years in the same old chair
I saw three roads and I didn't know
Which way to go-go-go-go
I need some help from a little love
I need some help from a little above
And you were there, I'm still in love
I won't forget you Coco
I won't forget you Coco
I won't forget you no, no
Because you're my Coco
My Coco, my Coco
You're my Coco, yeah, my Coco
Stimulate me, my co-co-co
Sneak into my empty bed
And educate me, my co-co-co
In the summer, in the spring
In public places, my co-co-co
On an island far away
Lemonade with my co-co-co
And when I was down and failing life
You came to save me, my co-co-co
And when they said I'm telling lies
You believed me, my co-co-co
And through the noise I heard a song
You were singing, my co-co-co
And when you said that nothing's wrong
I believed you, my co-co-co
But you were gone when I came through
And I remember you first
Well someday I'll dance with you
When I'm dreaming, my co-co-co
I sat alone and I didn't care
I sat two years in the same old chair
I saw three roads and I didn't know
Which way to go-go-go-go
I need some help from a little love
I need some help from a little above
And you were there, I'm still in love
I won't forget you Coco
I won't forget you Coco
I won't forget you no, no
Because you're my Coco
My Coco, my Coco
You're my Coco, yeah, my Coco

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
