You have to be careful when interpreting songs to make sure you have lyrical evidence for your arguments otherwise it is just supposition which is neither correct nor incorrect. The problem arises when you aruge someones supposition is wrong but yours is right. If you say something like "he's not a (sic) search at all. He doesn't want to go to college because it will pospne(sic) his true amition, music." then you'd better be able to back it up with evidence from the lyrics. Nowhere in the lyrics does the writer say what his true ambition is. You have no lyrical basis for your argument that college is delaying his music. It is supposition which is, as I said earlier, neither right nor wrong. However, you can't say someone elses supposition is wrong and then substitute your own.
What I see from this song is a person who decides that college is not the correct path for him/her. It seems he believes the idea of college is to put off the current life of now for the future life of tomorrow, as discussed in the lyrics
"waiting on tomorrow
waiting on tomorrow
we can be strong...
signed myself out today
sent a letter far away
said baby come home today
i'm here and its tomorrow
i'm home and its tomorrow"
What I gather from the song is that guy tried college, decided it wasn't for him because it delayed "life" for later, when he decided that his life was now and the future could wait. One by one his friends come to the same realization as he did, and now there are others who are likeminded. In the end he asks his lover to leave his/her college and join the writer back home where life is already underway.
