This is just my opinion but I think this is about taking an optimistic approach to life and death.
When Emily says “Get hot, Get too close to the flame” I think she is talking about a person’s self destruction and how death is sometimes closer than we think. I think she is using this sentence similar to the familiar quote ‘a moth to flame’ The moth is always drawn to the flame because it’s so beautiful but it doesn’t know that it can hurt itself if it gets too close. We don’t always know how much we’re hurting ourselves.
“Wild open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up
Got no time to take a picture
I'll remember someday
All the chances we took”
This portion of the song I’m not too sure, but maybe she means that our life is already mapped out. We don’t do anything different or anything to add substance. “All the chances we took” can mean that we wasted time- passed up all the chances we had to do something good or add substance to our lives.
When she says,
“We're so close to something better left unknown”
Again I think she means we’re so close to death.
“I can feel it in my bones”
Emphasizes on this point.
“Gimme sympathy
After all this is gone” does too.
“Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?” This speaks for itself. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones both influential artists and very important. I think she shows that there are two types of people in this world. :p The Beatles Fans and The Rolling Stones. These bands make people happy. So this displays the optimistic approach to death.
“Oh seriously
You're gonna make mistakes you're young
Come on baby play me something,
Like here comes the sun” Here is where she takes the other optimistic approach in the song. We are going to make mistakes- we’re human. So no matter how much life sucks we just have to learn to move on and look at the bright side- the happier side. “Come on baby play me something like here comes the sun”
I think it just means take risks when your young
like the beatles did
the rolling stones didn't take as many risks as a young band, and the beatles are way more credited
and here comes the sun is written by the beatles, and she's saying play here comes the sun
:S

The world is open for them to see, to be a part of, they are writing the story of their life about all of this they can see and be a part of. Not literally writing it down, but by telling people though singing it.

They'll remember all these things they've done, they don't need to take pictures to remind them. They'll remember the entirety of the things they have taken part in.
As for “Who would you rather be, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?” I think it's because the way they were. The Beatles were about love and life, being open, almost like a child. The Rolling Stones were more take life as it is, as it goes, like the wise man. They both have such strong standings and are both very influential because they're so basic to what life is, it's so easy to understand how to know what it's like to feel like both of them write, to live it out.
I could go on and on, but on the other points on analyzing, I agree with you, I just wanted to add onto the idea.
