this song is about blake (the lead singer) accepting himself (his love and his hate) as inspiration in life. everything has value to him ("you can't have a flower of stone - never let this soil come between us") and when he says "i'm asking you on a date..." he's saying that he accepts that everything can't always be about happiness, sometimes things have meaning even if their not uplifting
