The obvious meaning is that the end result of life is always going to be death, so we need to enjoy the ride We need to love, live, get high (boo ya), and live each day like it is your last.
The other meaning I am seeing is questioning the possibility of heaven and a creator. Is it by mistake or design? Is talking about the possibility of a god or are we a mistake. And, in the end she comes to terms with not knowing the answer to this question.
Based on the religious theme (church, cross in the car and around her neck etc.) I think she is rebelling against religion. She now can see clearly that she was seeking god because of her confusion and being scared she couldn't find all the answers. But, now she has come to terms with not knowing all the answers in life so she is just going to enjoy life.
"I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Tryin' to take what I could get,
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers"
In the end, weather you are religious or not, no one knows all the answers and we need to live this life to the fullest because it is the only one we KNOW we have.
hm, but I think, she wouldnt wear a cross around the neck if she would "rebell against church". ;) And the phrase "once I WAS blind" doesnt really fit in in your interpretation. Also, if you believe in god or not, it influences your comprehension of "fullest live", and how you like to live. :)

@jpaige There are definitely religious references: "Was blind but now I see" from "Amazing Grace", and maybe "When I was a child, I thought as a child..." from the Bible.

I think this song has multiple themes.
