No, this song is different from Dorothy at Fourty in many ways. This one is sung by Dorothy, not to her, and I'm thinking that Dorothy is the lyrical I of Kasher himself on this album. It's about how everyone else is stagnating and that stagnation is a horrible thing. Only Dorothy is the only one to recognize that, that's why she wants to get out until it's entirely too late - but this is refered to as "dreams" in the other Dorothy song. These two songs are basically about two different ways of life: the conservative one (and I don't mean politically), where you are keen to keep the status quo, to die in the city you were born in, and the life of wanderlust, where you can't feel happy once you've arrived somewhere.
It's also about childhood dreams in a way that most of us dream of going away when we've grown up, but few really dare to do it.
