I think it's about someone (George) who tries to hide sadness/depression by being overly cheerful. Cheer down means someone (Olivia) has noticed it, and she's urging him to step back off the ledge, let it go, and quit trying so hard.
The song goes through lists of problems and show that no better you think it is, if you manage your worries and fears they can't control you. That is a constant in his lyrics and world view; for example, from "This is Love":
Since our problems have been our own creation
They also can be overcome
When we use the power provided free to everyone
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Om.
