This song speaks really strongly to me. I believe it's about someone who keeps screwing up at everything she does, be it making it to work on time or carrying shopping bags. She feels like she's letting everyone down, but despite her self she keeping ruining things. She's stubborn and hot tempered and says things she doesn't mean. It's like she thinks people are losing faith in her, hence the "don't worry, I'll never let you fall". The taxi driver tells her that she doesn't have to live her life trying to please others, and that she needs to slow down and be her own person. At the end of the song, her "this time it will be different" speaks of her resolve to start fresh and change her ways, to live up the the expectations set by others and herself. However, I get the feeling that this is a mantra she's told herself many times already, and it never seems to work.
