Lyric discussion by sum41angelsandairwaves 

the chorus of this song should give you the meaning of this song and the entire album for that matter.

"Kids live fearlessly and curious lives Grow up to be so serious Lost time, broken dreams So usual Unpredictable, life's a miracle" this is so sad because its so true. i think this is what he means when he says "age old recital" in the last part of the song. "there is no release" from this cycle because there will always be people who go through life not following there dreams. life IS a miracle. tom wants everyone to follow their dreams because you cant be truly happy if you dont. and you cant love someone else if you dont first truly LOVE YOURSELF.
