I think Success is about an adultary relation and that this song follows it.
His wife discovered his treatchery and he is supposed to have ended his relationship with the other woman, but he’s unable to do so, so they keep on seeing but only at her place not to be seen (« It would be so nice to take you » out ?). His lover knows he has cheated on her too(« I only lied to make you smile ») and she can’t keep on like that so she ends it up and it’s their last night together. He doesn’t want to think about it so he remembers a special memory from the time they were fine together.
At the end, he clings to his hope and tries to convince her to see him again that way « you don’t have to say that you’d love to, but baby please that you’d want to someday ».
