I've always thought this song was gorgeous and a little sad...He's lost his innosence,as he sees it, and this song has always seemed to be about how much innosence can mean to you before it "lets you go", and that in the adult world it "holds you down." However, after such a precious thing is lost, there is little to do but remember how wonderful the days were when you were innocent and naive...ah,the days of childish youth.
