I agree with what jbee said. Building on it a bit, I think this is a relationship moving past those 'dream' stages of the beginning where you're making out in the car all summer and dealing and helping each other with real problems.
"Realistic love runs out of room." There comes a point where realism has to replace idealism in a relationship. He can promise the sun and moon to her, but he doesn't own them, they come out when they want to. Idealism can get in the way of realistic love so that it runs out of room.
The last verse is piercing honesty. This song is a very mature definition of love.
