'Tonight and the rest of my life' is about never wanting to lose the person you love.
In the first stanza of the song she describes the revelations chapter in the bible..Basically the end of the world "and the sky might catch on fire and burn the axis of the world" because she'd rather the world end than the pain of losing the one she loves " that why I prefer a sunless sky to the glittering and stinging in my eyes"..The "glittering and stinging in my eyes" refers to the painful tears. So then the chorus is about suspending a moment in time with her lover who'd be something like a soulmate, this can be seen in the spiritual connection she feels when they are together "I feel so light ..Weightlessness is passing over me".

So basically, she has a spiritual/soul mate connection with the one she loves who means the "universe" to her,however because of this spiritual connection losing the world would not be as bad as losing him because they can meet again once they die due to the fact that they are soulmates.

I agree with the foregoing interpretation in that the song's speaker has a spiritual connection. But the connection she has is with God, not a lover, per se. Hence the allusions to Revelation (and classical mythology / Icarus / etc.). Peace.
