Sealegs is about taking advantage of an opportunity for love (particularly physical love). Mercer says their two hearts are "opening now," meaning that there is a connection between them, though he makes it apparent that he only wants temporary pleasure ("I invest in a single life"). He tells her that the choice is hers "to be loved," letting her know that he's cool with whatever she decides, but obviously he wants her. He asks "can I've that to which they've no right," they being her suitors who "tried...tried" and "that to which they've no right" being her/her body. He tells her to "throw all consequence aside;" he wants her to make a decision based on her feelings in the present, heated moment with no regards to what their encounter/relationship will manifest in the future.
I don't know what happened with the girl he wrote this for, but if it were me, he'd have gotten his wish. I mean dayum.

Actually, he says "I invest in a single lie", which I take to mean he has said "I love you" to get the whole thing rolling.
BINGO!, by the way. You got it.
Dayum? Well, he's a star, but he doesn't believe in the soul, or anything spiritual. Overall, his stuff depresses me. Yet I am drawn to his genius for expressing keen insights, and his liquid voice.
