Cover art for Universe lyrics by Savage Garden

I think it's about being in a relationship where the other person isn't fully committed.

Boy wants to have a relationship with girl.

But girl doesn't know if she wants to have a relationship with him. The girl has so much going on in her mind and the universe in her heart because she is conflicted about what she wants. If she could only figure out what she wants, she could tell the boy and then be free from being uncertain. She thought she wanted a relationship but she doesn't know for sure.

Boy knows she is conflicted so he's going to let her go and not put his heart into the relationship because she won't commit to him. He's going to look out for himself and at least have sex but not stay the morning since he doesn't want to get involved with someone who doesn't know if they want him or not. He knows she will end up lost in loneliness but you know, that's just what happens when she can't make up her mind to be with him or not.
