Here's a story I made up to make the song more comprehensible for me:
The main character and his brother used to live together, be close, and make plans together. Then one day their parents divorced. MC moved away to California with one parent, while the brother stayed with the other parent. They made effort to keep contact through phone calls, but due to their physical distance and being away for a year or two, they drift apart.
The brother had this one friend, but the friend felt like she was holding him back. So she let him make new friends, but he ends up hanging with the wrong crowd and gets into a dangerous experience. He gets seriously injured, and his friend gets injured as well trying to save him. She rushes him to the hospital with bloody knees. The MC is informed of this and goes to the hospital. Outside of the hospital room, MC and brother's friend have the convo about love. The brother dies.
The MC ends up hating everything in California. He spends his free time watching the model rockets flying on his neighbor's backyard, not able to see anything but just able to hear their laughter over the fence that separates them. MC has a hard time coping with his brother's death. He dreams of getting phone calls like he used to do with his brother, but there's no one on the other side because 1) the brother he used to know became a completely different person and 2) his brother is dead. All the MC is left with is what if's and reminscing about their unfulfilled plans, knowing they can never come to fruition.
