Meaning
This reads as a quiet fantasy about stability, domestic life, and the simplicity of being settled with the right person. It can be taken to mean that the speaker wants ordinary peace more than spectacle, but knows that such a life depends on mutual fit, and it lands when someone imagines a future they are not yet ready to claim.
