there are a lot of of montreal songs that are actually sad, though the music may be very upbeat.
i think it's about someone who could never really enjoy childhood in the way that other children could (such as a kid who grew up dealing with divorce, emotional and social problems, etc). some people grow up with perfect lives, never experiencing any strife or heartbreak. to me it seems to be about jealousy for someone who has an innoncence that they'll never know, due to what kind of childhood / life they've endured.
