Which clashes heavily with the whole "spread your wings, dare to dream, life is limitless, we weren't born to follow" themes of before, but I don't see Jon as the kinda guy who would use biting sarcasm to make fun of people who think like that, seeing how he "loves this town" as well and all that shit. It's really quite bizarre. What are the lyrics trying to say?

You're right in fact, it's the part until pre-chorus that's very odd and different vibe than rest of the song. In the rest, I get it, it's the optimistic way of saying it's good, you're good as it is, enjoy it, etc. But first verse is like mocking ambition or will to try to change anything
