I think this song is about how Lana is falling for this guy but she doesn't show it. She knows he's falling for her too but he doesn't show it either. I think she listens to music while " watching the boys" because she wants to drown out the thoughts of her falling for him because she knows he's a player and he's just messing with her. The line , "nothing gold can stay" explains that she knows he won't be with her and fall for her like he is doing right now. So she puts on music so she can savor the moments she has with him before he is gone.
