Marsoccer88, a song might have a straight forward. right to the point kind of meaning behind it that is oh-so-obvious when you hear it (take Unfaithful by Rihanna for example) but no person is right or wrong in the way they connect with the song. Given that there doesn't appear to be a direct meaning to this one in particular, unless Teddy himself tells us what it means, we're all going to interpret the lyrics in our own way.
Personally, I feel the song is about someone who slacks off and really lives for the moment and someone else who gets what needs to be done, done and only then has he/she (in this case he) earned some personal downtime with his friends. These lyrics:
"You'll find that I fought for the right
To laugh with my eyes till tears would fall
And the salt would hit my lips"
Are what make me think so...
