This song is about a one night stand embedded in the speakers mind and is brought to his memory every time he hears the song the two first danced to.
The girl is stood up by her friends and lover and he sees her. She's waiting for her friends and boyfriend especially (you're holding hope open for the one making you wait) and he convinces her to dance. (all your friends have gone away so let's celebrate)
She's already gone to far with him and feels like she might as well continue convincing her that he will keep it a secret (the secrets that we held that day will be kept straight) and if anyone found out it would be the end of her relationship and even friendships. (everyone will be dismayed if your promise breaks)
Even though it meant nothing to her and was probably a way of getting back at her friends and lover that deserted her he still longs for her (be my baby, one more time)
"you're holding hope open for the one making you wait" is such a great line.
