This is an amazing song. The lyrics somewhat conflict with the tone and melody of the song, giving it a few possible meanings.
It's obviously about a relationship from the perspective of someone who truly cares about the other person and wants the best for them. The lyrics suggest it's a long-term relationship where they care about one another, but for whatever reason, they know it won't work in the end. The first stanza supports this idea
"I'm trying to change
To make the best for us
But I'm just the same
Same as I ever was"
However, the upbeat and playful tone also suggests a newer relationship. Where there is a true interest, but not as much involved. Like many new relationships that are going well, you almost expect to make the same mistakes and have the same heartbreak as previous relationships. While there is a desire to continue the relationship, there is also a desire to leave it in the perfect state it is in the early stages, as not to have the same chance at heartbreak as previous relationships.
Because of these dual possible meanings this is a wonderful and widely applicable song. Further, the music and passion in his voice are fantastic.
