Not so sure about the rest of it, other than it's beauty, but the second verse is obviously about being "too steep"- the thing that hurts him the most is her going to sleep after he asked if she would ever and ever adore him (ignoring his undying love in trade for sleep- he feels something that might last a long time, she's only interested in sleep and halos).
