In the beginning he says that this is his second chance, how he means to show her that he's been reborn as something better, i.e. a renaissance. I think the car crash was when he realized how much he loved her. Things like that have a way of making you appreciate the things in your life as we all know. He hears her voice telling him that she's there for him when he's down, when he's broken, but something has to change, right now. He then returns to his sentiment of a second chance. The second verse is him realizing, too late, how he had been building these "two-faced towers for hours on a lease" and that it had taken her leaving for him to realize his mistakes. He's standing on his own now.
Perhaps what she means by "heard it in the song when you call out" is that she can hear potential in his music, but she feels like he needs to do something about it, sit or get off the pot I guess. This album, then, would sort of be his renaissance, him following his dream and just going for it. Just a thought.
In the end I think it's a bid for her love again, showing her that he still thinks of her, still loves her, and that he's learned from his mistakes.
