The first time I heard this song, I thought it was about a boy, long in love with this girl, who just wanted to give her one "worthless evening" to be with him, a boy she never loved like her ex-boyfriend. In other words, the boy's dream comes true for a single night, and she gets to feel loved again, for a single night, before moving on to someone else. A single night can make all the difference in these people's lives.
Acey_Dearest's interpretation is probably more accurate, but there's a reason why it's called an "interpretation." My interpretation, by definition rooted in my own experiences, is going to be the basis for a pivotal scene in a story I'll be writing. Music provides such great inspiration for writers like us - especially beautiful pieces like this song.
