I think this is about life, and the sort of sweet existential outlook on it. It basically says, our life is going to have a lot of bad scary things (storm) but a lot of beautiful things as well (the spring). I feel like the first while people are trying to dismiss this sort of outlook, and he tries to get them to stop complaining by making them realize that if we don't need both we can't have only one.
All you see and you and me
Became from a star
This actually means how we are all made out of the same energy as stars. Niel Degrasse Tyson put it best, "The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.”
It's sort of a sweetness in this song that says you don't need religion to feel connected (I have no idea about Tally Hall's religious orientation, I personally am athiest). This trace backs to the line about the sky, 'many people think thats where we go when we die' 'i think we go to obscure or wherever we were before we were'.
This song is about the fact that the world can be harsh but it can be beautiful as well, and what makes this song wonderful is Tally Hall is saying, "Look what I'm doing! I'm writing this wonderful, childish song, I'm so happy despite it all!"

At least that's what I think.
Sure, smile, cause it's ALL you're EVER have. What wonderful choices you've made. Maybe we should all choose to settle, too.
