Now I'm trying to get back

Bridge

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

In the bridge, Mraz reflects on how he’s spent too much time worrying about how he comes off to others. The imagery of fogging up the mirror symbolizes confusion and self-doubt.

Outro

But I won't hesitate, no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and, damn, you're free
Look into your heart, and you'll find that the sky is yours
So please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
'Cause our time is short
This, oh, this, oh, this is our fate
I'm yours

The outro revisits key themes from earlier in the song, reinforcing the idea of commitment and openness. Mraz wraps up with a sense of certainty that love is worth it and that we should embrace it without delay. The repetition drives home the message that love is simple and should be cherished.
