Found myself just the other day
In the backyard of a friends place
Thinking about you
Thinking of the crowd you're in,
What you're up to, where you've been,
Just thinking
You know the clothes that you wear and the color in your hair
Shouldn't change you
Now you tell me why is it so,
You're bigger than Mighty Joe
At least you think so
God my fingers burn,
Now when I think of touching your hair
You have changed so much that I don't know if I can call you and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down, plant your feet back on the ground
Threw my smoke down on the ground
Turned my head and I heard the sound that reminded me
Of the days so young and sweet
Always so much fun to me,
At least I thought so
Now you think you're so damn fine,
You could rule the world,
No not mine,
I don't think so
God my fingers burn,
Now when I think of touching your hair
You have changed so much that I don't know if I can call you and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down, plant your feet back on the ground
You know the scene that you're in and the people that you've been with
Just get to me
But you think I'm not as cool
As you are so beautiful,
Who you foolin'?
Well I'm here to tell you babe the game you're in is just a game, so damn pretentious
God my fingers burn,
Now when I think of touching your hair
You have changed so much that I don't know if I can call you and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down, plant your feet back on the ground
You think you're so beautiful, so beautiful
In the backyard of a friends place
Thinking about you
Thinking of the crowd you're in,
What you're up to, where you've been,
Just thinking
You know the clothes that you wear and the color in your hair
Shouldn't change you
Now you tell me why is it so,
You're bigger than Mighty Joe
At least you think so
God my fingers burn,
Now when I think of touching your hair
You have changed so much that I don't know if I can call you and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down, plant your feet back on the ground
Threw my smoke down on the ground
Turned my head and I heard the sound that reminded me
Of the days so young and sweet
Always so much fun to me,
At least I thought so
Now you think you're so damn fine,
You could rule the world,
No not mine,
I don't think so
God my fingers burn,
Now when I think of touching your hair
You have changed so much that I don't know if I can call you and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down, plant your feet back on the ground
You know the scene that you're in and the people that you've been with
Just get to me
But you think I'm not as cool
As you are so beautiful,
Who you foolin'?
Well I'm here to tell you babe the game you're in is just a game, so damn pretentious
God my fingers burn,
Now when I think of touching your hair
You have changed so much that I don't know if I can call you and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down, plant your feet back on the ground
You think you're so beautiful, so beautiful

I think everyone's hit the nail on the head with the interpretation of losing someone you love and how they turn into a complete stranger. The lyrics are very self explanatory. It's about how people you love change, and how they develop a huge ego, and try so hard to be above everyone ("You are bigger than Mighty Joe, at least you think so") but this guy will always know who the person he's singing about really is behind the artificial surface ("all the colours in your hair shouldn't change you").
