Lost childhood. That's what this song always seemed like to me. All of Why?'s verses are talking about his past, the things he used to cherish ("My whole childhood was the broken guitar, and my sister's silly yellow blanket"), and the way he used to see the world ("I saw in a movie and always thought I'd live...")
He's clearly gotten past it, but he still seems to look back on it. He's in an apartment now; no families making sure he does everything... Fuck it. I can't explain it.
