I think that maybe this song is telling about how two best friends are best friends at 17 and as they grow on through there lives things start to change. They may become closer than friends and the part where it says "we carved or names in the proverbial wall" maybe it means that they have feelings for one another and share it only between then , with the kitchen floor and writings on the wall. I feel that maybe as 25 somehting may have happened to Autumn as it says "new car crash on a one way street"....and that people may be moving into her apartment. The song that marti is talking about singing her to sleep is the memories that her and autumn shared in the 25 years that they shared.
