Ok first of all, I'd just like to say that this is songmeanings.net, where people post their views on what the song means, and not a discussion board about where they first heard the song and which tv show 'ruined' it.
Ok, but about the song. This is my all time favourite song because it is absolutely beautiful and I love the lyrics. This is my intepretation of the song;
Let’s dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies -- talking about the beauties of youth, and that 'heaven can wait' while you're enjoying your youth, 'dance in style, let's dance for while.'
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not? -- the original song was written about nuclear war and this is a reference to it
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun -- talking about getting old and dying
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don’t they stay young -- beautiful lyricism that indicates that one thing everyone has in common is that they have experience youth
So many adventures couldn’t happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true -- basically, youth is short and there's never enough time to experience it, but as you get older there are all these 'dreams swinging out of the blue.'
That's just part of my interpretation of the song. I think everyone should stop complaining about how The O.C has 'ruined' this song; just because the song is more popular, it is still just as emotive, insightful and beautiful as ever. This is amazing lyricism right here that never fails to take my breath away.
