Think this is a song of love and devotion to a woman and her child, and he is just revealing the depth of his emotion and love.
"Fortunately you have got/someone who depends on you" - He loves the child
"We started out as friends/But the thought of you just caves me in/The symptoms are so deep/It is so much too late to turn away/We started out as friends" -
Their relationship began as just friends, and she may not realize he has gone far beyond on that in his mind.
"Sign your name across my heart" - he wants to be hers and hers alone, and is asking her if she feels the same.
"Time I'm sure will bring/Disappointments in so many things/It seems to be the way/When your gambling cards on love you play/I'd rather be in Hell with you baby/Than in cool Heaven" - He has tried to love before, and suffered the misery of failure, and knows that this may happen to them. But he would rather chance the burning hell of a breakup than just remain in heaven next to her, but without her knowing his true feelings.
"It seems to be the way" - This is all he can think about, this is the only way he wants to move forward.
"Birds never look into the sun before the day is done/but oh the light shines brighter on a peaceful day" - all the nourishment and life comes from the sun, and he sees her as the sun in his sky. But it is never good to look directly into the sun, because it will blind you. But as he looks in the sky surrounding her, he is at peace and in love.
"Stranger blue leave us alone/We don't want to deal with you/We'll shed our stains showering/In the room that makes the rain" - he does not want to over think this, over think that she is the sun in his sky, and he yearns for the night, to consummate their love, and shower him clean and purify this love"
"All alone with you/Makes the butterflies in me arise" - He is dreaming of this, and cannot imagine the feeling throughout his entire being if she accepts his proposal.
"Slowly we make love/And the Earth rotates/To our dictates/Slowly we make love" - He dreams that as they consummate their love, he will be on top of the world, in control of his own destiny. It will be an eternity of living in a few brief moments, and he will cherish each second.
