I'm sort of indecisive about these lyrics... I feel like this song is supposed to be rather melancholy. I think it's essentially about being lost and desiring some sort of connection in the world outside oneself.

Listen to the tone, I don't think that "I believe that someone'd take care of me tonight," means that he succeeded in finding someone to take care of him... and Junie is also in the same predicament as well as the "weird kids"... I think is a depressing, drunken ballad from generation Y about the lack of connection.... and the failed search for it.
