I doubt that this is about two lovers or anything like that because the song is childish, in a sense. The first two stanzas are a child's imagination. The beginning music with the xylophone or w/e keyboard instrument is almost certainly meant to sound like a lullaby, and the entire song is pretty soft.
I think the song is about someone seeing a childhood friend losing his/her childish innocence. The friend is doing something morally wrong or perhaps just becoming more aware of the reality of the world in contrast to the previous wonders of imagination (whatever you can make of the third stanza), as he/she grows up.
In the end, the speaker wants to take the friend back before the loss of his/her childhood innocence (let me to your old home) and isolate them together so they can just go back to their "harrowing adventures" with one another, oblivious the pressures of the outside world like they used to be.
if your gonna talk about the maturity, then im gonna say BULL: the way these guys fuck up conventional rhythm in this song suggests something way more mature then two kids skipping in the flowers. The dark cello sounds more or less evil, and that bass percussion cancells out any chilish innocence those xylophones might conjure. maybe that works with your next point, that its about the lose of innocence?
