I never gave the lyrics much thought until I saw this thread but yes, it does seem like it's about the effects of success.
What had me started thinking was that this is the first and last song (encore) in a lot of their sets on tour.
I love songs like this because although you love the band, and you're quite sure they love you back, and you know they probably still love what they're doing, it shines a light on the reality that going on tour is just plain tiring.
I particularly I love the lines "Before I knew you, once upon a time would take too long, long, long, long, long, long."
My main takeaway: love the chase. In a lot of things, the chase is always more exciting than the achievement. Life is a journey shit. Haha! :)
