I think this song speaks about his teenage years (and all of ours, for that matter) and how we all feel so freaking incredible at that age. We feel so magical, so strong and new, and yet so innocent, confused, fragile and afraid. How do you spend your time as a teenager? Doing nothing! Except driving around the neighborhood and just "hanging out."
We're like a spaceship in the sky -- as teenagers, we like to think that no one really knows anything about us (U.F.O's), but in our minds we also like to think that the world centers around us, and everyone sees us as a beautiful star in the night sky. In our minds, we're awesome. We'll never "lay down like a dog, or bark like a dog" because we have that stubborn, teenage rebelliousness to be ourselves, and we tell ourselves we'll never change, only to realize later in our years that being yourself is one of the hardest things to achieve in this busy crazy world.
