This song is pretty simple to explain what Brandon is trying to say. The whole song is about fear, how it can control people by changing their thoughts and actions, just like alcohol can.
"Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear
Take the wheel and steer"
This verse states how fear is usually created by the unknown and what we are unsure of. It also states how he clearly has been experiencing this for awhile and he wonders how long it will be before he can overcome this and take control.
"It's driven me before and seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel"
The pre-chorus here explains how fear (even though not everyone clearly expresses it) affects everybody in some way, and he is realizing that it is time that he makes choices and opinions the way he actually wants to, rather than his fear influencing his actions.
"Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea"
The chorus explains itself; Be ready for whatever comes your way and accept what happens. View things and make your actions/opinions based on a clear mind set and what you actually believe, rather than being controlled by fear.
