I don't know much about Adam Young's personal life, but it seems that this song is about a beautiful woman. He is watching her fall asleep, and he is slowly falling asleep himself. He realizes that his lovely dream world has everything he wants, including his beloved right next to him. As he contemplates the dream world, he states he would never wake if he had the choice.
This song is really fun to listen to. Like most of Young's stuff, it's a break of contemplation with a catchy tune.
