"Ghosts with a negative age" is a reference to aborted babies. So Carrie decided to not get an abortion. Straw, agreed, the "old you" is her after changing her mind for this momentous decision. She is NEW and the baby on the way.

Awesome insight. That reference about "negative age" didn't make sense to me until I read this post. Vienna is a brilliant songwriter.
