See I definitely see this song about not wanting to go to bed because he realizes how much he loves this girl and he just can't understand how he ever went through life before her:
So goodnight moon, and goodnight you, when you're all that I think about,
All that I dream about, how'd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss from Goodnight You?
But even further than that, I love the Romeo and Juliet tie in. IN Romeo and Juliet Romeo constantly uses light and dark as a comparison for Juliet (she is the sun, a diamond in an Ethiop's ear, etc) and so does he:
And there you were, as I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs,
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room and steal the air.
And then the fact that they know the Sun is rising but they don't care brings in the Romeo and Juliet because after romeo and Juliet get married Romeo spends the night yet he has to leave the next morning because he killed Tybalt and is now exiled, but Juliet pretends the sun isn't actually coming up.
And dream for me anything, but dream it in color about
We know the sun's still rising and we don't care.
Pretty much this is a great song and all of the allusions in it are amazing! I can't wait to see them on the 16th.
