I think this song is about how teenagers build relationships based on illusion, infatuation and fantasy rather than on reality. The somebody "Somebody lurks in the shadows" line of the song refers to the threat of reality looming around the edges of the relationship, how it will inevitably intervene and break down the world they constructed for themselves.
