I feel that this song is about being afraid to grow older. Not old necessarily, just older. Always seeing new faces become old friends become forgotten contacts, always seeing the things you love eventually end, to be replaced by new things in some level of continuity until the inevitable final time. This song also makes me feel that he fears some certain aspect of growing up (Genius.com commenter mentions a consensus that people believe he is afraid to become a father; Gildenlow has three children in real life so this song might be about a younger time in his life)
