Lyric discussion by BabyBritian 

I heard it was talking about growing up and moving away from the whole "Mod" culture for the sake of growing up and being with a girl. The lyrics "bells chime" and "I had things planned" kind of imply that he might want to get married but it didn't work out and now he thinks its best if he just left her with them, which I don't get why he would do that.
