i have always felt that this song would be a great soundtrack to a montage of kids having fun in summer, enjoying the last moments of their totally free and innocent youth, because while the lyrics tend to indicate a relationship whith a girl, the song is really just about kids who want to be friends forever but realize they cant.
my favorite line, no special metaphor or anything but still powerful, is "Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see/ Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be/ And after all this time to find we're just like all the rest/ Stranded in the park and forced to confess"
