This Is Ivy League – June Lyrics 12 years ago
It's a very beautiful song about the loss of innocence.

It's about the change in a relationship between a man and woman that occurs after having sex the first time, or taking any big step really, but I think it particular pertains to sex. Beforehand, everything is innocent, you are in your native land, gallavanting about as a man and woman. Though you feel like a boy because of your feelings for the woman you desire. A kiss, a hand held, a walk with her, it's all you need to stoke the flame of romance.

But when you decide to "pack your bags" for a "romance overseas", you're taking that final step and you can't turn back. And you know "we'll never be the same again". You leave those innocent days in your native land and move away for something more serious. And occasionally that wonderful childlike, innocent joy will appear, as a "message that made me smile".

Lovely commentary on how life changes. You make decisions and you have to be content with little messages, little reminders of what once was. And hopefully you made the right decision :)
