I think this song is about when someone either first gets saved or just in general has this huge change in themselves and the people around them either don't take them seriously or think they're a hypocrite. I believe he is pleading out to the people to try to understand even though he doesn't expect them to, but he's asking for their forgiveness and just to start over.
It could also be about completely messing up and apologizing and starting over with that person a little bit too late.
Ultimately the theme is second chances and other's reactions to them.
