Lyric discussion by desensitized 

i wonder why nobody added a comment to this great song...

i think its about a guy who is in love with a girl he knew from school, but he wasnt able to tell her his feelings or take her hand. I think here is the connection to the second part with the young children, they were just too inexperienced (or they just didnt have a clue because they were never taught love?), and couldnt do it different. Now they meet again, and the answer is still no, he leaves him standing alone. But he still wants her, he was denied so many times, now he ignores the truth and hopes she will change her mind, realizing life is too short to try...
