I think also the bit where he says "Old friends we used to talk..." is referring to how he used to talk to fans after shows. He's being completely honest saying "was I really listening? was I just waiting for my turn to talk" (coz when we're talking to people we don't usually stop and wonder if they're really listening or they're just waiting to speak, ya know?) and as a lyricist he has everything to say. For me this song is them saying bye in a way. I think the chorus hints that they're young and they want to do other stuff. The "round and round we go ( I know you hate the sound but baby I just can't stop)" bit might be referring to people's reaction on the changing sound of As Cities Burn. And my favourite line, "hold your head up for the world to spin around" might be directed at fans: they're just a band and the world won't end if they break up (it keeps spinning).
Anyway that's my mini essay
