Personally, I think that this song makes a lot of sense. It's just another way of someone saying that there's no way to define love. He's saying the no matter how much he says, even if he spews endless amounts of poetry, nothing will be able to capture the feelings within him, and, if he tried (which he plans on), it would all sound lame and cliche no matter what.
The SoCo reference, I think, is just pushing the fact that he could be as original and poetic as he'd like, but even the words to her favorite song couldn't sum up what he was feeling.
"If time would stop, how could I make this more poetic?" seems to me to be him saying that he doesn't want the moment to slip through his fingers because, if he could think of the right words, he could make it absolutely beautiful.
But the person who he'd be spouting prose to is pretty much a person who pulled him out of his shell and made him happy. ("You bring me out, show me light") However, he sometimes goes back to being the insecure person he is ("I'm sorry if I hide"), and that line could also mean that he's not pursuing his feelings because he's scared that they'll be even deeper than he thinks.
"I would tame the stars and save the brightest one for you." That line seems really cheesy (like the pick up line "your daddy must be a theif, 'cause he stole the stars and put 'em in your eyes" or whatever), but it's also impossible- even so, if it would show the person how much he felt, he'd do it.
The second verse just seems to be his saying "Be completely honest with me", for whatever reason he may have. ("Just as long as there's no doubt.")
"Our wish each time keeps me returning to you night after night..." This entire part seems to just be his way of saying that he wants, and knows that the person also wants, to see eachother, so they keep coming back to the cliche setting of a night under the stars because that's so poetic, yet cheesy (and thus pathetic). The "Lift me up..." part seems to be his saying that just being with this person makes him feel so great about himself and the world that he could fly/soar.
Overall, this song is saying that love is an incredibly confusing, cheesy, indescribable, complex feeling, but it's pretty amazing. :D
This song is love. I adore it.
