A beautiful song for certain, and so sad. I'm leaning towards the agreement that it is about a loss of childlike innocence, and when one person grows up they lose that innocence. A recurring theme in most Nightwish songs, however I think this one is most directed to someone who has just lost his/her innocence, whether it was from a sexual act, the viewing of a horrific crime, or even a different look at a simple day; the person in question is simply a child who lost their innocence and grew out of it, and they only wish they could get that unattainable innocence back.
