I feel that this song is mostly about the lie that is love. The Guy has realized that
A) You can still lose even if you really try and B)Everybody's trusting in the heart
Like the heart don't lie.
I feel like this attacks the idea that their is some foolproof plan that prevents people from getting hurt or from failing.
To me this is more about the general message that the world offers us about love than an specific relationship.
So in the end we might just be better off cutting our losses and just taking what we can get and settling for the basic need of having someone to cling to at night, that will leave in the morning, because at least that is certain.
Rob is amazing, I wish I could ask him about all his songs!
Despite the brightness of the musical arrangement of this recording, to me the song is totally and competely sarcastic and pessimistic in nature. This suggest the song's narrator has had a string of disappointing relationships, therefore that's "all he needs right now". This happens to be one of my all time favorite MB20 songs, both musically and lyrically.

You nailed it. "someone I can lean on, until I don't need to any more" This track is much more cynical than it sounds.
