I'll post, fellow realrhymesayer fan. (:
The way I see it, is he's reflecting on a good childhood. Overcome with nostalgia, he comes to realize that when he was young it was easy to just roll along with the breeze but now that he's grown everything is happening so fast. It's the way we all feel when we grow up, an hour is no longer eternity the way it was when we were little, it feels like just a blink of an eye. He's going through his life, reminiscing about everything thats happened. Starting in a happy childhood, then moving to colorado, then doing dumb shit with his friends and loving every second of it. Then he hits addiction, following his sister, and brought himself out it fixing all his problems he would've never expected when he was young. He moves to seattle and becomes who we know now, an amazing artist. He fell in love with a girl after he moves away (or before I can't tell) and when he comes back he realizes she was sleeping around and was never really his. The point of the song, however, is to stop and smell the roses, "You need to slow down every once in a while."
To me, this song is transparent, going through life we eventually forget to slow down and just enjoy ourselves and every once in a while it's needed because everything will catch up one way or another.
