I think this can applied towards any relationship. (That's actually one thing I love about ADTR. Their songs allow you to drift and think of your own meaning for the song.) This can be someone in the military, away at school, traveling for a job, touring (in this case), etc...
"I know you can’t give me what I need
And even though you mean so much to me
I can't wait through everything"
I think this means that she is going to move on, even though, she really just wants to be with him.
"Is this really happening?"
And this Jeremy saying, "Come on? Just stay with me... Do you know what this will do to me?"
"I swear I’ll never be happy again
And don’t you dare say we can just be friends
I’m not some boy that you can sway
We knew it’d happen eventually"
And this is Jeremy saying, "Ok fine, do what you want. Just know I'm not going to be around anymore if you follow through with this."
Thanks for posting this. I couldn't figure out what kind of distance they were relating to: military, regular, etc. But you're right; you can apply this to almost anything.

i figured it relates more to the touring....because hes saying that he cant come home til everybody is singing lalala meaning until he gains fans and they are all singing lalala he cant come home....i personally dont c how that relates to the military or anything of the sort....

My first thought when I heard this song was that it was related to the military, honestly. If you think about it, you can kinda relate it the La's meaning peace... They can't come home until the war is over and there is peace.
Then again, it could just be me.

I always thought of it as the military when i heard it. And the la la la's made me think of happiness. And I always thought he was saying until the war's over and everyone is happy. In other words, until the job is done.

I'm quite new to ADTR, but I've caught that theme of being able to drift. Alot of bands have specific meanings attached to their songs, but this band is different. For me, this song is a romantic one about seperation and the guy finally coming home to his girl in the end. It reminds me of situation with my boyfriend. He's gone alot, but I'm always waiting for him, and its fabulous when he does come home. :)

To me it is totally about being on tour but relates to me right now. My boyfriend is in bootcamp and its hard cause im missing him soooooo much. I really don't plan on leaving him though. :)

@KevinSTL4 I think he is going to the military of some kind, and after they break up, he leaves.
