i think this song is about the speaker's return to a hotel where he considered committing suicide, and decided "Instead," to fight for himself, not only in the usual opposing meaning of the word, but also not "lose" at battles for "Show love in motion" i.e. romance and enjoying life in general "That I'll taste each second
That said,
I know each
Moment's a present",
the "The carpet
Inquired
If I'd lay there again
And where was the
Girl
From when there last I had been" may refer to either a hooker he've been with or a lost love from his past
