Maybe about prostitution?

" Take what you want My head is full Take what you need My price is good You want it all I've seen it once I've seen it all "

This is a lover whose been around the block beofre and doesn't give a shit anymore.

"Now that its over this weight is off my shoulder Now that its over I love you more and more "

Maybe this is a 'customer' who he's falle nin love with? He's glad he doesn't have to try to impress her anymore and can finally allow himself to actually love another.

"I know that you Would take my hand If I were to Give you the chance "

He knows she wants marrige, but that doesn't come easy for those in his line of work.

"You want it all Just like you should Our thoughts are pure Our thoughts are good Be what you want You'll have it all "

This girl wants the full package: marriage, kids... And he understands that that's exactly how she should feel, and he's thinking about retiring and giving her what she wants.

This song is almost definitely just about sex, but the prostitute perspective gives it a storyline that it would otherwise lack.
