I do believe this song is about a person who wants to give up on her current lifestyle to try for a new one. The song is saying how she should try instead of walking around feeling sorry for herself. She denies this with her pride. She pretends to be happy but she wants so much more out of life. The narrator can tell the girl is miserable and is "jealous of the moon" and wants to go far in life, but is fearful to and he hates to see the girl suffer, thus he sings this song about this girl. hope that wasn't too confusing.
