The beginning starts out a little hopless, but then he feels "something in the air," something that tells him that everything he's working on ("all of the plans [he] made [that] won't come together") will come out better than expected. And this might be the only time it happens ("maybe for the only time in my life") so he'd better take full advantage of it.
So now it's all going good, "but even the brightest star won't shine forever." everything's working out, feeling like nothing can go wrong, but it won't last long, so he'd better make the most of it.
I agree, Camb...what the singer's basically saying is "even when things are at their worst, things will work themselves out for you...but, don't take the good times for granted, for things might go back in the other direction."
