This is what I got out of this song.

As we go thru life we feel as though we are drifting through it whether or not we know what we want or not, no matter how hard we try, we struggle and this leads to frustration that causes us to break down and cry. We're then just looking for one good solid thing in life to stand on and we find it but then we mess it up or something does. So we fight our demons of ours no matter what because we have to.
Then we start losing our mind because our life's a mess and we've gone way off course and we would like the person that loves us to wait till we've got our stuff together. So now we're sleepin in the same bed but not really connected together and this has been going on for way too long. And little by little the relationship deteriorates.
Then we wonder did I screw it up for good? But this is all I have to give at this time, can wait a bit longer. 
Then you think...All I want is a simple life and I'll fight for it. And if this doesn't work I'll try harder but this is all I have to give.

So this song makes me think...In times like these we all hope that we have the right person is by our side and we make it thru them. And we hope as the Beatles say "Love is all we need" and that love is enough.
