I think this song is about people's tendency to try to relive the past instead of focusing on the future. The message is, basically, that doesn't work. I love the line, "Stay right where you are, you'll be half of what you were." (Which is wrong above, btw; I've got the liner notes in front of me.)
Ironically, tho, this song also makes me super-nostalgic. In 1994, I was a freshman and the Guster guys were seniors at Tufts (back in Massachusetts)...makes me think about all that college stuff.
