Like John Mayer's "Heart of Life," this is a pick-up song.

It's prettymuch saying that when you're depressed, life isn't as far away as you think it is. You don't need to "reach for the stars,/ when life becomes so dark," all you need to do is follow your heart. Then he gives a few more examples of how life gets tough, but all you need to do is listen to your heart.
