I think the songwriter must have had a friend who OD'd and died on heroin, or something. A lot of songs on the album allude to heroin, shooting up the sky, and dying early.
If I had to describe Pains of Being Pure at Heart in one word, I'd say starry. Their music makes me think of the romance of young love.
Also, I love the way he repeats "are you with me?"
