This song is about unrequited love. The speaker believes his love interest is with a crappy guy who doesn't treat her well or respect her. I imagine this guy is the jock type, big muscles, big head, handsome, etc. but he lacks substance. It seems to me that the speaker may be intimidated to physically fight for the girl he loves, he doesn't have the good looks or status that the other guy has. But he does have something more important: his songs.
Maybe he also isn't really confident in his ability to write fantastic poetry or catchy songs. But he tells himself that it doesn't have to be a super complex ballad with clever lyrics. It can be a straightforward song, two notes and a beat. This song pumps him up to express this true feelings through music.
Starting with something simple, the lyrics start to flow and he actually ends up with some beautiful words, and it all started with those two notes and a beat.
In my interpretation, the guy sings his song to the girl he likes, and she ends up leaving the douchebag guy.
