This song to me is about rekindling a old love that has become stagnant, or starting a new one... capturing the moment on the dance floor, and hoping for some new excitement, joy or romance to emanate.

"Gonna see the morning rise Swallow the light of the moon But stay with me and sway a while Daylight won't be here anytime soon"

He wants to stay out all night, until the early morning... capture and live in the moment.

"Put a little rhythm into it Put a little back in the step Anything to put you under a spell 'Cause I know that I'm not there yet"

He wants to make his partner happy, excited and enthusiastic in the moment. However, it's building slowly and he knows it takes time to warm up.

"I've been a lot of things in my time But I've never been a fool, no If tonight you're gonna make me one Just let me know it soon, oh soon"

He's putting himself out there, but is still afraid of being made the fool. He would rather know sooner rather than later if that's the case.

"And I could hear your heart calling out Beating for something new"

He knows his partner wants love and connection, something new...

"You think that you know what you've got But in less than an instant it's gone"

... and yet it can all end in the smallest instant. Pop! And it's completely gone...

To me, this song is also about appreciating what you currently have, even when you feel like it has faded...
