To me this song is about thinking you have everything set and figured out, but then things just don't go the way you originally thought. Like I thought I was fine, I thought I could go to a university and just breeze right through, make a bunch of friends, and get a good job...didn't happen. Now I feel like I'm back at square one. (so here I am treading water again, this is not what I had planned...)
