This song is probably about a relationship, but I can't help but think everytime I hear him sing "can't stay the same" or things like that i the newer songs that he is actually referring to the music. When In Reverie came out, I remember people comparing it to the old stuff, and not liking it as much. It was just natural progression. I think sometimes he is saying that you can't stay the same, you have to change, it's natural. So with Sound the Alarm, it sounded like they were writing music similar to their older stuff, but the new record is slowly getting away from that.
