The Darkest Space by Jason Mraz is a song about finding oneself and learning to be in control of one's life. The opening lines suggest that the singer is no longer just a song, but something more significant that can occupy the mind even when one is asleep. The lyrics go on to explain how the singer has finally found what they were looking for and is no longer just going along for the ride. They have control of their life, and there's going to be some quality sleeping because quality is keeping the quality up at night. The singer is fixed to lay with their arms out and learning to fly through the darkest space, where catching up to the catch phrase is the goal. The chorus is about the singer being above the aggravation of love and raising their glass to optimistic fortune. They're sitting high, laughing at the thought of crying their eyes out and enjoying life. The song encourages listeners to embrace change and open themselves up to the world's possibilities. The singer wants people to want love and things to always stay the same, but also to appreciate every moment and let the games begin. Overall, The Darkest Space is a call to live life to the fullest and find joy in every day.
