Things are shaping up to be pretty odd.
Little deaths in musical beds.
So it seems I'm someone I've never met.
You will only hear these elegant crimes,
Fall on your ears from criminal dimes.
They spill a foul from a pretty mouth.
everybody gets there when everybody gets there and everybody gets their way.
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her,
Now I'm the only one to blame.
Things have changed for me, and that's okay.
I feel the same, I'm on my way, and I say.
I want to go where everyone goes,
I want to know what everyone knows
I want to go where everyone feels the same
I never said I'd leave the city,
I never said I'd leave this town.
A falling out we won't tiptoe about.
Little deaths in musical beds.
So it seems I'm someone I've never met.
You will only hear these elegant crimes,
Fall on your ears from criminal dimes.
They spill a foul from a pretty mouth.
everybody gets there when everybody gets there and everybody gets their way.
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her,
Now I'm the only one to blame.
Things have changed for me, and that's okay.
I feel the same, I'm on my way, and I say.
I want to go where everyone goes,
I want to know what everyone knows
I want to go where everyone feels the same
I never said I'd leave the city,
I never said I'd leave this town.
A falling out we won't tiptoe about.

The "green" gentleman is weed.
"You will only hear these elegant crimes,
Fall on your ears from criminal dimes."
Sounds like drug use, and dimes is probably referring to dime bags.
"I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her"
The 'her' in this line is probably a female metaphorical representation of weed - "Mary Jane."
I don't think the rest needs explaining.
Like others have said, it's about change and growing up. These things usually come with a sense of confusion as you try to figure out where you're going in life. You may think you know where you're going and that you've got it figured out, but you see that that's not the case as time goes by ("Things are shaping up to be pretty odd..."). You're also figuring out who you are, but that isn't always clear either ("So it seems I'm someone I've never met..."). A person can struggle with fitting in with everyone else while doing this ("I want to go where everyone feels the same...")
I see other parts as changes in relationships as you change yourself; whether it be with friends or a significant other ("A falling out we won't tiptoe about..." and the other verses that fit with that).
It has a nostalgic, melancholy feeling about it, but it's embracing the change at the same time (mainly because it's inevitable). "Things have changed for me, and that's okay. I feel the same, I'm on my way, and I say." This last bit just seems to be about looking back at where you were and where you're going. The change has happened and you're moving forward to a better place than where you were before as the change was happening.
