To me it seems like this song is about a relationship that takes place in a short amount of time. Specifically, things like relationships at a summer camp (maybe it's because Guster is like...THE jewish camp band). But lines like "so we pass the time and occupy our minds and close our eyes and hope that we'll be fine" describe carrying on a relationship despite knowing that it can't last. The wishful thinking aspect of "hope that we'll be fine" is there.
Maybe I'm just lonely for jewcamp, but that does seem to be what this song is about. Something like that.
Hmm...I could be way off here...
