One correction in the lyrics listed here:
Between the chorus and the "I get so down..." bridge, there should be these two lines:
"I'm always close, but I'm never enough.
I'm always in line, but I'm never in love."
I think this song is pretty straightforward. "I wanna thrive, not just survive" pretty much sums it up. He's saying he's not content with just getting by. He wants to excel, make a difference, go beyond what is expected. And right now, that's not happening so he's determined to change that.
First of all, amazing songs and amazing lyrics.
