First of all, this is a great song.

I think it's about a guy who was alone and seeking for love for a long time ("Settle down I said to myself, things that come with time"), who meets a girl. He knows, that some modern relationships is build on fast sex and leaving before dawn ("Everyone gets what they want too fast these days No one knows the way to make things last"), but he's tired of waiting ("Still I say, Hey baby, I'm through waiting"), so he tries to convince himself, that she's the one who can save him.

Just my two cents. Sorry for possible mistakes, English is not my native language.
