In my opinion, this song is about the game of life. So many people are afraid to create their own futures and live a life of freedom. Most people don't take chances because they are afraid of failing and/or succeeding. On top of that, people tend to find a comfort zone and stick with it. It's easy to think about the past, how it used to be, and wish it was that way again. The hardest part is playing the game, but you'll never win if you don't take action.
Ding ding ding! I think c0unt3rfeit got it. I was about to say something very similar. There's no way (aside from an explicit explanation by the writer) to know exactly what the song was written about. But I think this is the most logical inference.

If you look closely and think about it, the theme is a cynical view that life becomes monotonous after a while. And the risks of making a change (going after hopes and dreams) aren't worth it because, well, change isn't desired (don't want to "grow up") and is a scary thing.

So that's what I think. The song is about the game of life. But "that game" he is talking about...might refer to something different. That's where the song might become more personal. But as far as the casual listener is concerned, that's the closest thing to what the song is "about." Anyone vehemently disagree?
