No, no, I think the song has this double meaning that many songs have: they can apply to a relationship, because they're written like that on puspose, but that's only the surface, as somebody said above.
I think the deeper meaning is the writer talking to himself. If you take this approach, the song has a completely different meaning than if you see it only as a relationshiplike song:
It has to do with the writer having changed, and having somehow lost the hopes and happiness of an early life; having done reckless things as he grew up, and not being able to find that childish happiness again, not sure that it even exists, that it ever existed. However, he decides to accept himself and giving himself a chance saying: "I'll love whatever you become...our lives have just begun". But it still feels he can't find any hope, or find those memories.
I think this makes sense considering the other songs and the name of the album.
