i think this song is about a guy who went through a rough period of life, one filled with self-discovery, and this is his reflection on that process and his take on where he is now in his journey through life. he's saying he's finally okay with who he is and he loves himself, not in a narcissistic way, but in a way that is healthy and good, as in his self-esteem has improved.
"happiness coming and going"
could be a reference to how everyone (no matter how secure you are with yourself) has days when they are happier than others and how life and no one is perfect and we all have times when we feel down or discouraged. but the way he sings this line you can hear the hope in his voice, implying how no matter how bad he may feel one day, he knows it's not permanent and tomorrow is a new day.
i think this song has two facets, one being the above tone of self-discovery and redemption, but also kind of telling the story of how at the same time he's finally happy with himself on his own he has met someone who he is falling in love with: "i watch you look at me i feel my fever growing, i know just where i am"
overall this song is about how two aspects of his life are converging, his happiness that he finds within himself or his individual relationship he has with his "self" and this new relationship that's forming with his romantic interest.
i think the line "it's just a change in me, something in my liberty" is about the balance he's found with this new person, he feels himself changing into someone who can be with someone else and commit but also still, in essence, free in this newly-forming relationship.
