I think it's about just how life changes us.
He talks about falling in love. how they 'start' life together and go through each day, but it was like time just flew by for them and they've been together for so long but it seems like they don't know where the time went (most days feel the same while you work.. so they all mesh together and seem like you've been doing nothing). Later on, all the little things she used to love and admire she forgets (probably because she focuses on her career and the realities of life), but he still remembers the dreams/fantasy/innocence.
But the last bit is so sad... "But, she got a tan and I got a sunburn...
She got a tan, and I got a sunburn" The sun being all the negative things in life. He got hurt (heartbreak, grief, loss and all that) and she became 'tainted' by everything and "got a tan" (she became accepting of the harshness of life... making her a darker, realistic and more accepting of all the evil in life). BUT that's just my opinion.
I love this song nonetheless, it's just such a great beat and all the lyrics just flow. I can't believe so few people comment here T.T
OWL CITY ROCKS >:DD
