to me this embodies being a teenager. adults never really understand what it's like to grow up in this day and age, whether it's the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, or the 2000s. Kids always want to have a good time without being judged by their elders.
"let's get to the point, let's roll another joint" is the epitome of a summer night spent smoking weed and fooling around. The location doesn't matter, which is why Tom Petty sings "let's head on down the road to somewhere".
I love the line "I woke up in between a memory and a dream." I think this feeling signifies the moment when a teenager realizes that "this is is, this is real life and I'm living it." They feel like they are stuck in between their childhood memories and their dreams of the future. It's a confusing time in any person's life.
