It seems like she sings with such a longing to feel like she did when she was younger, a kid. She's realizing that she's not getting any younger, and it's scary to think of all the responsibilities now.
I think there's some contradictions too.
"This dream isn't feeling sweet
We're reeling through the midnight streets
And I've never felt more alone
It feels so scary, getting old"
She obviously doesn't want to get old her, and says she's NEVER felt more alone.
"You're the only friend I need
Sharing beds like little kids
Laughing 'til our ribs get tough
But that will never be enough"
Yet here, it seems like she's trying to convince herself that the only person she needs is her (possible) significant other. But she can only think of how she felt towards them when they were kids (laughing, sharing beds). But then says it would never be enough. She doesn't feel the same for them like she did before, and she doesn't like she feels that way. In comes the part of convincing herself otherwise.
Kind of like involuntarily falling out of love for a person, and just focusing on the good times they had, and telling yourself it would get better, but knowing it won't since getting older has changed her.
