I can't help but think that this song is about a realization
the "while 5 years ago i wept and no one knew" [and also the "5 years ago, in my backyard i sang love away] line makes me think that maybe he went there after a bad break up or something thinking that he lost his love or whatnot easing the pain with his guitar. but now 5 years later, with his "lady" and hes come to the realization that he has found love, the real thing this time, and she's sitting right beside him, on the rooftop, watching the little bombs explode in the sky on that 4th of july...
and all because he did let go and was able to move on [i made a bridge between us then i slowly burned it], he realized that what he had 5 years ago and what he has now 5 years later are completely different [as in, what he had 5 years ago was not real love, what he has today is]
just my thoughts..., anyone else get that feeling?
