Rob Bell in his book, Velvet Elvis, describes heaven as a present reality. when there's good in the world, that's heaven. when there's bad, that's hell (example: the phrase "living hell). so cody says "heaven" he means something good. like, Love/God/maybe a lover.
so in the 1st verse, he's scared of loving someone, because they might not love him back. in the 2nd verse, he's scared of not being able to love. this is all because love can seem like a ridiculously hard thing to do. we're supposed to love like God? well how does God love us? he constantly loves us even though the world rejects him 24/7. his love is eternal and unconditional. so we're supposed to love and never EVER reject anyone, 24/7, forever. it seems hard right?
the chorus ("wrong body..") means he can't love because he is in the wrong body/he isn't the way he's supposed to be. he's meant to love, but his character, his fears, whatever, is holding him back. i think he uses the words "stumbled in" because he stumbled. he messed up. he let himself become what he isnt meant to be i.e. someone who cant love. but since he stumbled, he can always get back up. he can still love.
