At first I thought this song was about a first time, but then reading the above comment made sense, but I have more to add to it. I think that the song is about a guy who's in love with a girl who has a boyfriend. They're good friends and they're about to hook up and this is his dream.
"Soft kiss and wine
What a pretty friend of mine
We're finally intertwined
Nervous and shy
For the moment
We will come alive tonight
Secret valentine"
This verse is about his "friend" and they're finally getting together. He's really nervous because it's with somebody who is taken. He calls her his "secret valentine" because nobody can know that they like each other.
"We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl
Start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's not for nothing at all"
He's trying to memoralize the evening in his head because he knows this can only happen once. He wants them to hurry so they can finally be together the way he wants them to be together.
"Lay down, be still
Don't worry
Talk, they will
I'll be loving you until
Morning's first light
Breaks tomorrow
I'll take care of you tonight
Secret valentine"
He says here that he'll only love her tonight because she's with somebody else. I think he really loves her but he's trying to convince himself that he can only have her for one.
"When guilt fills your head
Brush off, rise up from the dead
This is the moment that we
Will come alive
Brace yourself for love
Sweet love, secret love"
He knows that she'll feel guilty but he wants her know that it's okay and maybe he'll tell her he loves her.
