As Pete Murray has said (search for the song on youtube and click on the live performance in the Netherlands): It's about someone being utterly pretentious.
He says it's the most misunderstood song he's ever written.
Apparently a lot of people use it for their weddings, which he finds completey ridiculous because of the meaning of the song.
It's a love song, but it's about a group of people he ran into one night. The lyrics are exactly what you think they are about and there's no hidden meaning.
It's ridiculous that some people don't pay any attention to the lyrics. This is the least suitable love song for a wedding I can think of! It's about the realisation that some people just aren't who they pretend to be… they put on an act depending on who they are with, they let their own ego get the better of them. It's not really about being happily in love, despite the soft tone of the song. It's more bittersweet and telling than it is romantic and hopeful. Please, listen to the lyrics people!
