This song is bittersweet and nostalgic. I think it's about a time when everything was going right, when there was hope about something great that was about to happen–but then you mess up. The past is beautiful and colorful, but leading into the present, it all fades. The green behind us was when things were growing, vibrant, and thriving. The bright and hopeful stars aren't there anymore. They faded.
Sounds like this song can be applied to many situations–maybe the hope of a good change in life–a new job, a relationship, even parents trying to have children or trying to adopt. Sometimes things look so hopeful, but then something happens or we mess up, and the future that once looked to bright from here... fades. All we want is the hope to come back. But maybe, the pain of waiting and of stolen dreams will make us stronger.
The lyrics and the tune seem to mourn the golden days, yet try to bring closure by acknowledging that "seldom second chances come along."
