It may have been "just" when it was written, but it is DEFINITELY "Child" on the album.
It is about a relationship that should not have happened. About temptation if you will. Knowing that is "child", I take it mean a teenage girl/boy who has become infatuated with an older man/woman. Basically telling him/her that if you choose to pursue me, I am only going to be with you for one thing, your innocence (virginity possibly or just for sex)
It also could be reversed with a man/woman already in a serious relationship getting involved with someone single. "If you choose to stay, you'll throw it all away", meaning your are going to wreck your relationship to be with me.
Saw them just a few weeks ago in Orlando. Very good show.
