Bareilles explained to American Songwriter magazine why she named the record after this song: "The title track is really about loss of your childhood," she said, "and letting go of your past, and that's a part of my life right now, a journey I feel like I'm on. It felt befitting to name the album that."
So to put it simply its about the transition from one part of your life to another. Remembering your childhood or past in general and letting it go because its in the past and change is inevitable. Sometimes we don't want to change or previous plans for our future change but change ca be good just different.
