The car crash thing does make sense, but writing a song about a car crash would be silly. I think there's a deeper meaning. For me, it seems to be about realizing that youth does not last and that we need to make the most of our lives in the present. Also, the lines about "I'm scared" is a common sentiment among those who realize that they can't keep living as they have been. Very sad, tragic song. Damn him for having depressing lyrics with such great music!
