"To the World's Greatest Mum" and "The Oldest Swinger in Town" are slogans you used to see on cups and silly little plaques - tacky but earnest little tokens of affection a couple might give each other after years together.
This song means don't try to define love all the time and force it to be what you think it ought to be. Love is a living thing that grows and changes, and you need to appreciate it for what it is.
It starts off with dreams of wedding bells, but becomes something deeper and more important with time. When you are tired, relax and feel it so it can reinvigorate you. There will be times when you don't feel it any more, when it no longer feels so new and shiny, and what you will have then are the reminders of the years and times you have spent together. It won't always be this frantic urgent new love; over time it will turn into a deeper connection and fondness that only comes with years together, symbolized in the kind of silly little gifts that build up over decades.
When times change and you get frustrated because you are no longer the people you started out as, the memory of that initial love can be a weapon you use to hurt each other. It's easy to forget everything that you have built together if you focus on what used to be, rather than what is. So let love speak up, let the souvenirs of your life and love speak up and remind you that it was worth it.
