I disagree with the comments I've read here. Sure, it's easy to take a superficial look at this song and just think it's about getting laid. But I think it's deeper than that.

I don't think I'd be overanalyzing it to say that it's also about the absurdity of life. We can assume that the girl he's looking at the stars and holding hands with in the first verse is his girlfriend. But in the chorus, instead of talking about their sex having some sort of loving element, all he mentions is their bones. They're just bodies engaging in meaningless...

"There’s someone calling, an angel whispers my name
But the message relayed is the same
(wait till tomorrow you'll be fine)"
The angel whispering his name is an attempt at finding something more than just futile materialism, but he just waits until tomorrow, just letting his life slip away day by day.
Then a bit later:
Don’t you wanna swim with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It’s only natural
Feeling a bit less depressed for some reason, he begins talking about the whole person, shown by the inclusion of skin.
I never had a lover
I never had a soul
Again, despite obviously having a girlfriend, he never had a "lover." I think this reconfirms that they go out and fuck, but they still don't have a true intimacy. The most important line for my argument is "never had a soul," because that's what the whole thing's about.
As he begins remembering all the shit that's happened to him (And I never had a good time/I never got bold) he goes back to just thinking about bones. Then he starts going back and forth into a duality of man-type thing.
Love the Song.
I think this song is just that he wants to get laid, hence he doesn't really like her.
hahaha true
hahaha true

That actually makes a lot more sense than I want it to.
