i think this song is a call to arms to take control of one's life. she is saying that one needs to learn to buy your life, instead of renting it. she wants to be able to commit to the person she finally falls in love with without being nervous or backing out because then she would lose them- "i am so afraid to fail so i won't even try, well how can i say i'm alive".
