For me, this song is the relationship between parents and child, and how that relationship changes over time.
"It seems like days since you rejected
Your mom and I"
As a young teen, sometimes you want to get away from your parents. You reject them and you seek for independence.
Once you get that independence, you realize it's not all fun and games, and sometimes you long to get back to your parents, who you once rejected. It's a nostalgia for the simpler times when you're parents adored you and took care of important things for you.
"You wonder why it can't stay simple
Your mom and I
To pet your head
And dress your letters"
