Mine's a bit different... I always thought it was more of a "moving on song" sounds like he's ending a relationship and the other person is heart broken because they are getting left behind so he says, "You used to be such a lion Before you got into all this crying on my lap Back when you thought I'd never get this far" basically the other person thought the speaker would never leave them, but the speaker knows that he only has one opportunity and he's taking it and the whole potion thing maybe means "love" like he never was in love with the other person and he knows it broke the persons heart :3 "But did you really think I'd shut an open door? The future's calling and Imma answer her The wheel's in motion, I never drank your potion And I know it breaks your heart" And the hook is just basically him saying i've been where you are too i've had my heart broken dont worry it'll be okay "its only natural" its part of life to have your heart broken :l I think the speaker is saying that he will be there for the other person just as a friend but the other person wont be alone :0
