Lyric discussion by paper bag writer 

And i was a boy from school helplessly helping all the rules and there was a boy at school hopelessly wrestling all his fools and there was a girl at school blaming all the words she learned from home nothing could keep her a child long hours don't you know we try

we try but we didn't have long we try but we don't belong we try but we didn't have long we try but we don't belong

now i meet you on the street harmlessly breaking rules, we meet lives are found and love's are lost say goodbye to nothing everything caused now i find you on my street breaking rules hopelessly we meet lives are found but love's are lost say goodbye to everything, nothing caused

i hope this is a little more clear.

i beleve the song is about how the real important lessongs in life are not learned in school or in bookes, but only through living.
