I think this song is definitely about a young girl (16) getting pregnant. A lot of the above people are saying that it's about them having to deal with the kid. I've listened to this song and always used it as a lesson. I think it's saying, you're only young once, so be reckless and careless. That's my understanding of the words "Oh yeah, life goes on" like, everything flows on. "Even after the thrill of living is gone," I think this means that you will have to live with some of your decisions. So, basically that you should live your life, but you should live it with the understanding that the mistakes could stay with you. Like, even after the thrill of whatever act you've done. I think it teaches two really good lessons and incorporates them into one.
