It is my opinion that the message that this song is trying to give out is that, although there is alot of pain and disaster in the world, there is still a chance to find love and that there is a higher chance of you falling in love than there is for example having a plane crash.
"Struck by lightning
Sounds pretty frightening
But you know the chances are so small
...
But theres a twenty three or for-to-one
That you will fall in love
By the end of this song..."
The small extract helps to put my idea across. It says that the chances of being hit by lightning are 'So small' and that theres a 'Twenty three or four-to-one' chance of finding love by the end of the song.
It is clear that this song is meant to be very uplifting so that if someone who is struggeling to find a partner listens to it, they start to feel more confident in themselves because they know that they will find that special someone at some point.
"The odds are that
We will probably be alright
Odds are we're gunna be alright
Odds are were gunna be alright tonight..."
The chorus really helps to push the idea in to the listner that you are much more likely to find somebody that you love by the end of the song than you are to get hit by a train or eaten by a great white shark.
