As a student who's about to enter college, I find this song to be incredibly sentimental and I do hold it near and dear to my heart. I tend to interpret this song in it's simplest form - the tumultuous time it can sometimes be to maintain your youth, your innocence. I use the lyrics: "We must never stop watching the sky with our hands in our pockets; stop peering in windows when we know doors are shut; stop yelling small stories and bad jokes and sorrows. And my voice will scratch to yell many more," as a sort of list of the commandments of maintaining. I also think this would have been beautiful in the new release of "The Little Prince," in the soundtrack. Also the song that made me fall in love with The Weakerthans.
