To me, he is talking to Serena who is confused about their sexuality, "..enjoy
the girls and the boys and everything in between...." This to me sets off the whole song and what it is about. And all this time they are avoiding the hard things about coming out, they are missing out on life.
The second verse seems like Serena is contemplating giving up a part of themselves, either by suicide or hiding who they really are, (which is the latter to me giving the final verse), "going to give up...give out." And it is their conscience holding them back and to remember the "despair" of trying to play a part instead of living who they are.
The last verse was a ploy of remembering the good times and having fun until "morning would come". And the whole "find the diamond inside" is finding the good within yourself instead of taking what everybody else wants them to be. Diamond being a symbol of traditional marriage here I take it.
Some may see diamond as being drugs as a coping mechanism and that works too. Either way, Serena needs to "find the diamond inside."
