I think this song is about old age, and what comes with it, i.e. grey hair, bent back, ect.
The verse:
"Everybody's youth is only what they make it
Longer in the tooth, so why do people fake it?
We'll never get it back again."
Is expressing a regret about not living life to the fullest when the narrator was still physically able to. This verse could also be seen as a warning to not waste youth. 'Youth is wasted on the young' sorta thing.
I think mainly that this song is told from the point of view of an elderly person. They are telling us what it is like to be close to death and they are saying "goodbye" in the process.
