Words in a song or poem can have any meaning, however YOU interpret it. YOU are giving it meaning, otherwise, it is just a song of meaningless letters that form words that say stuff.
What I mean by this, is this is why we all have different answers, showing the less experienced posts about sex and the more experienced about something more. This is a great site.
To me, this song is about life and these relationships that happen to us when we're young. We live to focus on something more, yet our young hearts all get carried away with this ideal of "love".
But do we want to be serious about it? It's up to us to accept this "love" or not, but in our younger years, it's just going to get in the way of "work", or our goals. The ideal of "love" is a serious thing (I use the word "ideal" as a disclaimer) but if we were wise, we wouldn't fall into that, but instead, have fun.
Just live! Get out of this town while we still have time! Be spontaneous, play, learn, travel, take risks, have fear, and mostly be happy with whatever you do. There's more to life than being committed while you're young. Just get through all of the little things in life, go out and experience college and your youth, and whenever you're ready, it will happen. Don't grow up to fast and indulge in the play time.
And you know, maybe it's not even about "love" with a person in particular. Maybe society and how everyone is trying so hard to grow up so fast. To be more complex, maybe "love" can represent an idea; a relationship with a certain situation that would be easier dealt with if saved for later.
