I can imagine myself in 10 or 15 years looking back at my last relationship that ended 6 months ago and thinking about the beginnings of the love while this song plays in the background.
When We Were Young is about the glory days of a relationship. Not necessarily a romantic one, though. When you're young, everything is easy and so care free. You can be reckless and yearn for more. In this situation, the restlessness that people feel when they are getting older and develop more and more responsibility is what has torn this relationship apart. "Oh I'm so mad I'm getting old, it makes me reckless" is a perfect example of this. She hates that she is getting older so she begins to be reckless--in this situation she is reckless with her lover or the other half of whatever relationship she is referring to.
In my opinion, WWWY is one of the best songs she has ever come out with. It is perfection.

@stevenrmc I agree, and it is a very memorable song.
