The song is about the experience of ups and downs in life, using an extended metaphor of the weather to refer to the singer's mood: "And lately the weather has been so bi-polar and consequently so have I/ ...But now I'm/ Sunny with a high of 75/ Since You took my heavy heart and made it light/ And it's funny how you find you enjoy your life/ When you're happy to be alive."
