I love nocturne so much, it brings me joy listening to it...

My interpretation of the song indicates that it is the beginning stages of a relationship, with two people attracted to each other and getting to know each other. While it's just the beginning, they can't really show their emotions and have to pretend normal. This can be easily described in a situation where two people are working together closely (like friends or coworkers) or perhaps two strangers that often collide in a bar or other setting.

They are both dealing with the same things and as the title states, they feel anxious in the night and when they feel lonely they know the other person is there, making them appreciate their company and presence.

"You can have me all," means that they are there for each other both emotionally but "ALL" emphasizes that there is the physical aspect too. The rest of the song goes on the portray the twisted feelings and emotions they hold and can't make it happen because either they are shy or perhaps have obligations that isn't letting it happen.

They repeat the chorus because it 's obsessing over this frustration and tension between them, which becomes intensely strong with the increasing bass and guitar tone which imitates a beating heart or the motions during intercourse. It's almost like they are obsessed with making each other feel high... and especially the intense feeling of intimacy when one is about to leave... but still continuously obsessed like a secret stalker, twisted but acknowledged. I think this song is about love, although one might argue it's about drugs... the melody is melancholic with a hypnotic beat that gets your heart racing for more.
