I was reading around, and the idea of pregnancy came up, and I never thought it that way, but I can see it. I don't however agree with that.
The way I interpret this song, is like most people but a little twist.
I think that it goes in stages, with the beginning being about them at their youngest, perhaps they are dating at this time. Hands between her knees, they are prolly sexually active. Then going behind the shady tree, further shows that they are.
Then it moves into a stage where it's time for them to move on, and perhaps they are still together and it's time to move into the city to be able to live. Work, make money, etc...but Diana says your not missing anything. Or perhaps it's meant exactly like it's said "Aint missing nothing" which is a double negative, means your missing everything. I don't think it was intended that way, but it's there.
Then he says to hold on to 16, as long as you can, and for most people they would agree with that. But why would you want to be 16 again, you have been that age before, why go back, you had your turn =P
Then at the end. Perhaps the best part of the song. Two American kids doing the best they can.
