Yes, but what does it mean? Intriguing. Is "leaving your life" a metaphor for something?
I think it is too easy to say that this is about the end of a relationship, and consequently I don't believe it is. Perhaps the person he's speaking to is leaving the country, or something similar that would warrant a "new life".
I can't even figure out whether its positive or not. You're right, the song is so damned catchy! It sounds happy, and general sentiment seems to be one of 'things have to change, so this is how its going to happen, and its going to be good' (ie. the stars have aligned, calm down because its nearly over, etc) yet having "everything you were...fade" seems like a pretty massive thing to be dismissive of. Unless you were a real dickhead to begin with.
But anyway I'm clearly talking out my arse here so if anyone wants to shed some light on this one, I'd love to hear more of people's thoughts.
