Jennifer Nettles is inviting a friend over to study for her calculus exam the following day, and she thinks about it always. (Side note: doesn't it sound like she sings "I think about it all the way"? Just sayin')
When is she doing it? TONIGHT! She's been waiting for it.
"A lifetime for a day ... would be an even trade"
Here, Jennifer is telling us that all the hard work she put it would be justified if she received an A on the exam; if she just did good that one day.
"I know how it feels to breathe ... with you beside me"
Jennifer chose her study partner carefully. She always wanted to sit next to each other in class so they could share answers during tests. So part of the reason she wants her girlfriend over to study is because she's used to hearing her breathe the answers to her in class.
This is the most accurate interpretation of this song, and (at the time I'm writing this), is the only interpretation.
This song is about studying calculus.
