Lyric discussion by trite and cheap 

to me it's about someone who has the potential to live life well and to the fullest but is held back by negativity and the overall fear of living and so their lover is trying to ease their mind a bit by saying hey, let me be the pessimist for once. stop seeing things so negatively, calm down, and live a little instead of holding your breath waiting for something bad to happen. beautiful song
