In short, I think this song is about loving life, learning how to let go and open up your heart, and be free to enjoy life to its fullest without the stress or worries we often subject ourselves to. I think the "person" the song is addressed to is actually "life" itself. Here is my breakdown of the lyrics: Well you done done me and you bet I felt it (Hey life, you've thrown me some curve balls and kicked my butt a few times, and I've taken notice) I tried to be chill but you're so hot I melted (I tried to act cool about it, but you / life can be very intense sometimes) I fell right through the cracks And now I'm trying to get back (I got burned out and frustrated, but now I'm brushing myself off and getting back on my feet with a new attitude) Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my best-est (Before I lose my nerve I'm going to give it another shot) And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention (and I'm confident that this time nothing outside of divine intervention will stop me) I reckon it's again my turn, to win some or learn some (This phrase seems to be a play on the adage "you win some, you lose some". He's conveying that "failures" should be viewed as learning opportunities, so either you win (succeed) or you learn. That way every experience in life can be seen as a win / win situation) But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm yours (There is no time like the present. I'm giving myself over to you / life) Well open up your mind and see like me (Now he's talking to the listener.... telling us to open our minds and see his view point) Open up your plans and damn you're free (Let go of what you think you should be doing with your life, and all of a sudden you're free from stress / worry!) Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love (With an open heart, you can find love in all kinds of different places / relationships) Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing (Don't worry about the past or the future; enjoy the present) We are just one big family And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved (Celebrate the people around you; we're all in this together and should love one another) [Chorus] So I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait I'm sure (No time like the present to change your attitude) There's no need to complicate (It doesn't have to be complex, it's a very simple idea) Our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours (Life is short; so I'm giving myself over to you / life) I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer (In the past I've spent too much time and effort worrying about how other people see me) But my breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and I laughed (But I kept getting in my own way by trying to please everyone else, so now I'm just gonna do my own thing and not worry about it) I guess what I been saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons (This is his most straight forward explanation / summary of the whole song... stop worrying about what other people think, or what you think you should be doing, and just roll with it. Enjoy life at this moment.) It's what we aim to do Our name is our virtue (What's important is who you are as a person; your "name"... not what you look like, or what your successes are) But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait I'm yours (Life is short; so I'm giving myself over to you / life) Well open up your mind and see like me (Open your mind and see his view point) Open up your plans and damn you're free (Let go of what you think you should be doing with your life, and all of a sudden you're free from stress / worry!) Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours (If you can tap into the love in your heart, you will have no boundaries) So please don't please don't please don't There's no need to complicate (Don't try to over-complicate things) 'Cause our time is short This, oh this, this is our fate, I'm yours (Life is short; so I'm giving myself over to you / life)
