(copied from myself)
I think the song is about a guy who lost a girl because of his childishness & get's angry at her because he thinks it's her fault. He then later comes back wiser & realizes he wants her back,"All you wanted(before), I could be ".
He went From "I'm a boy, No, I'm a man" to "can you help me be a man?" after realizing he was being childish.
So I think it's about love lost & trying to get it back after you lost it.
