Actually, I don't think this song has a happy meaning. I think it's about the narrator missing an ex-boyfriend. For example, "we'd better hurry up," is because she knows what's coming for them (a break-up) and she's remembering back to happier times. In the "it just feels good..." part, she's remembering how it felt when they were together (for example, how it felt to wake up next to him).

"And I'm not a failure, I swear/I wish you could see it from over there/I've got a lot over here without you"
