Holy god, how has no one commented on this song? It's probably my favourite track off Rolling Blackouts!
The way I put it together, it sounds like a re-awakening kind of anthem. It's very here-and-now and reminds me of what someone might feel if they 'finally made sense of it all', especially "when it's all coming back, kick-start the motor". And then there's the rationale, "Don't plan at all, cause making it up is so natural" like that's all they had to do the whole time.
The one line I don't think I understand is "I would never lose my head tonight", is it meant to be like saying... I'm together again, and therefore responsible? I really don't know.
I thought the same thing about that line, but I kinda like having it be mysterious like that. This is a perfect pop song, but it's not fluff. The lyrics are somewhat oblique, open to interpretation. And the song structure - the instrumental bridge is a journey in itself, not following the chord structure of the verse/chorus, which is no slouch either (I learned all the chords by ear, couldn't find 'em on the web, and it was tricky!). I totally feel the same way about your assessment of the other lyrics. Awesome tune!
