Let me start by saying I love this song... Lights and Owl City, yess . (:
Thw whole song is very lighthearted, and the meaning is pretty obvious once you get around all the metaphors. My interpretation of the song is that, basically, he is in love with a girl (a bittersweet passion) but, frankly, she would rather 'fall in chocolate than fall in love, especially with him.' The chorus states that he wants to be happy, dance in the moonlight, join 'the yacht club', and sail away all their sad days- kind of like a fantasy.
But he's so nervous whenever he's around her.. So much that he'd rather go swimming with great white sharks then wade in romance. Then, in the final verse, he kind of says don't stop trying-there's footprints on the moon! Your fantasy could still come true.
However as always it's hard to wrap my head around some parts of these lyrics, so anyone care to elaborate on my explination?

Really good explanation! I just wanna add he's probably in love with a kinda tomboy/tougher girl who doesn't like the whole lovey dovey thing.
