I think this is about a young couple who wants to break up but just can't manage to take that one step to really do it. well actually it seems to be the girl who wants to end the relationship - they both know it's gonna happen but neither of them wants to really admit it, they still you out and stuff ("i held your hand it was after dark")...

it seems to be one of those love/hate kinda relationships.. she kisses him, then runs away quikly, she say "smoke your cigarette, I hope you choke".. but on the other hand misses him when she's not with him.

he probably still loves her but knows they are gonna end up seperated.. he says he never realises how good and passionate young love is and he askes he to "take a look at what [they] had" so she might change her mind.

don't know, i could be wrong though :D

i think there are two relationships in this song. the first is the "young love" he had. at the time, he didnt appreciate it, but now he looks back and sees it "wasnt that bad". it seems to him that she "kissed his lips and quickly ran away", being that the relationship didnt last very long.

in the second relationship, he walks a girl home from the park, but is still thinking of the first. for whatever reason, the second relationship seems to be as short as the first, she also "kissed his...

you might be right about 2 different loves. if so, its all the more interesting that the average age of the members was 18 in 2008 when this was released. very mature for their age, or the lyrics are written by someone older. either way, I like it...
