So I've come up with two different possible interpretations of the song... just ideas that popped into my mind while listening to it. I really love this song by the way, and it just goes to show that Mayday Parade is amazing and has the lyrical and emotional depth in their songs to communicate with fans and their lives/minds. So for the possible interpretations...
1) This could be a "hypothetical song", so to speak, where they communicate the message through a narrative from a father to his son.
OR
2) This could be based on what happened to one of the band members, one of their friends, or a mixture of the two in their lives.
Either way, the general message remains the same. It basically tells how something can seem so perfect and indestructible can change at a moment's notice, and not necessarily for the better. It also communicates the idea that you should never take anything for granted, as it can slip away at any time, or change in a way that can leave you wishing you had been more appreciative.

Just my thoughts.
