this song is about not letting precious moments pass
Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
-start your life out good, dont make bad habits
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
-this is just explaining to a couple, yeah now your just having fun, but later when youre married, you two will be dependent on each other
Smile like you mean it
-this is really just saying enjoy life, laugh until you start crying, smile the biggest smile you can, even at its worst life is good!
Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
-when he was a kid, he didnt appreciate his youthful innocence and simplicity, youth is wasted on the young
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things slide by so carelessly
-his dreams change, hes changed, he let those youthful things slide by
And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
-life is going on without you about you
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
-there is a child growing up in his house, making his own memories, thinking about someone else growing up in your old house is chilling
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did
-even after hes done with a girl, someone else will come along and they both will move on with different lives
