I imagined this as a person in a relationship with/wanting someone who has low self-esteem or complains all the time. The singer is telling the one he loves that life is what they make of it.... you can either bitch and moan and "call it another lonely day," or you can go the other way and make the best of it. The singer is trying to convince her/him of this but the object of his affections won't listen or "take it from me".
He doesn't understand why this person he is in love with won't open up or realize the great potential she/he has.
