Clearly a reference to the fairy tale. But I also read it as a guy has a crush on this girl, and wants to be her number one man. But she's either jaded or sad and/or hung up on someone else. "Whoever put that spell on you". Perhaps she's depressed because a previous lover hurt her for example. And now, he just wants her to be happy ("I'm gonna snap you right out of this...); moreover, he wants to BE the thing in her life that makes her happy ("It's me they'll have to answer to..."). I love this song. I think its beautiful and sweet.
