Well, basically, Drake was involved in a major car accident not long before he wrote this, and he knocked out 6 teeth, a fractured neck, a broken jaw, and a deep cut across his chin, leaving a two-and-a-half inch scars. In an interveiw Drake said that it was scary being hooked up to tubes, fed only liquids and not knowing whether he would be ok, or if he would have a deformed face. And he didn't know if he'd be able to act or sing, or do anything that he does in normal routine everyday life again, or anything at all, so this song is about how happy he is that that can happen, and he can act, sing, write songs, play guitar, and just live normally basically. He's saying wake up and smell the roses because it could all be taken away like that ! It's about that. It's also about how he can do the things that make him happy. Also, the reason that this album, It's Only Time, with songs like Up Periscope, Fallen For You, and Do What You Want, are more bouncy than his first album, Telegraph is because of this also.
