I got what mostly everyone else did out of this song: the nostalgic feeling of looking back upon childhood as an adult.
I would like to point out the clapping sounds at the beginning, and how they are replaced by drums gradually. I think this is symbolic of how primitive turns into rhythmic and routine.
I believe the "strawberry" is not literal, but symbolic of the sweetness of being on swings as a child with his childhood crush.
Then I think he goes back to an adult perspective on the situation when he refers to "they" as he is referring to him and his childhood crush.
The cold water is symbolic of memories and the things they entail. His "feet won't touch the ground" because he is now grown up and unable to feel how he felt as a child. The alarm-ish sounding noise in the background of "It's such a perfect day" is a realization that he has woken up and gotten to see the world for the truth and not for its beauty.
He goes back to being a child in the fourth stanza.
In the fifth stanza, he is feeling really nostalgic. He is aware that things have changed and everything is "straight"; boring. He wants to change, do something childish.
When he says, "I don't mind" in reference to the sky, he is essentially saying that he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't see that "perfect day" anymore without her. He wants to feel that perfect day again, but he can't do it without her.
@erindomi A perfect interpretation, in my opinion. This song resonate inside me, as I have the luck to be in love with a girl that makes me happy and makes me feel like I felt when a I was a child... With that kind of awsomeness inside for everithing you are experiencing of the world... She is so special inside (and incidentally loves nature so much, and as a strong "child nature" that somehow she managed to preserve even in her thirties). When I share time and experiences with her, my "inner child" is awake again... And time doesn't exist...
