This song is about resigning yourself to the idea that you may never fall in love, may never have a mutual romantic relationship, and that it is not the end of the world. After all "there are things worse in life than never being someone's sweetie". I love his sarcastic way of singing "sweetie", like it is so frivolous. He mocks his youthful, unrealistic fantasy of meeting that non-existent "perfect" person and mutually falling for each other, and living happily ever after.
But like every Moz song that seems to write love off as a ridiculous dream of youth, there is always the glimmer of hope. The dream doesn't fully die..."there is a light that never goes out".
