This song is obviously about the concerns of finding love. The first verse talks about how people are worried about wether they will be able to find someone so they'll go on blind dates etc as long as they are giving themself some chance. the song seems to focus a lot on the fact that finding someone you love is a very chance based thing with lines such as "studying how they toss the dice". This is furthered when he says that they are only a few degrees apart. out of all the bilions of people in the world the right one just happened to be someone with mutual friends with him. He mentions that in the past marriage was more or less arranged so they never had to worry about finding someone. After a few lines talking about how in love he is, there is a sudden change. he starts to talk about how things didn't work out and they've both found other partners. their relationship is now nothing more than an "uncompleted masterpiece". He also makes a rational statement "So I'd rather bind my mind with rhymes
Than blind my eyes and sever it" meaning that he would rather use music to alleviate his heartbreak than foolish bodily harm.
Shout out to the turtles.
