"I see it around me I see it in everything, I could be so much more than this" - he is unhappy with himself and when he looks at the rest of the world he sees everything he could be achieving and how happy he could be.
"Said my goodbyes, this is my sundown, I'm going to be so much more than this" - this is the turning point where he decides he is going to change. In this case I believe it is alcoholism (a factor in a number of JEW songs), and he is saying goodbye to the drink. The sun is going down on his last day as an addict. He's positive.
"I need you to show me the way from crazy, I want to be so much more than this" - despite his positivity, he needs help to do be everything he wants to be. He looks for support in other people.
"With one hand high you'll show them your progress,
you'll take your time but no one cares" - he is at an AA meeting and raises his hand to admit he has a problem. He takes as long as he needs to talk, and no one cares about how long he is taking, because it is part of his recovery. He can talk as long as he wants about it.
"No one cares (I could be so much more than this)" - no one cares about how long the process is taking, as they have taken the first step. The different voices singing 'I could be so much more than this' show that he is not the only person wanting to change.
"Lovely time, tinsel shine, goodbye, I'll be fine. Good good bye, good good night" - either a sarcastic goodbye to the alcohol he is now nolonger dependant on, or a sincere goodbye to those who he has just been sharing his problems with. He knows he'll be fine.
this is my song. i could be so much more than this...
