I think one of the key parts to the lyrics for me at least is :
Now you say you're leavin' home
'Cause you want to be alone
Ain't it funny how you feel
When you're findin' out it's real
to me, this was myself wanting independence so bad, saying "I can't wait to get out on my own" and then when it was a reality, and my bags were packed I was saying to myself "am I ready?, is this really happening?
For me this song reflects the coming of age where its time to move on, but once you've moved on you realize there is no turning back, ready or not. Now that i'm 30 years old, I find myself reminiscing alot about years past and when I was a teenager, things were so simple then. Now, everything is different and it seems like the clocks are sped up, I keep wishing there is a way to slow them down.
