It sounds a lot like The Outsiders-esque idea of close friendships and brotherhood and loyalty. The chorus sounds like the book as well, with "bring back those days of gold". In the book, Robert Frost's poem "nothing gold can stay" is quoted, and one of the characters tells the other to "stay gold", or stay youthful and innocent at heart. That's what this song means to me. The sanctity of boyhood friendships that became like brotherhoods, and yearning for those days of loyalty and fealty to one another.
