"He was the Congregation's vagrant
With an unrequited love.
When your passion's exultation,
Then finding refuge is not enough.
She was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go.
They decided they would try
And make it on their own."
I see this as a man who is wandering around and has this love he wants to give out, but no one returns.
His love was passionate and intense. He couldn't just ignore it.
She literally was "the youngest of her family" such as the youngest sibling who is watched over carefully and then let go to the world.
These two then met, fell in love, and "tried to make it on their own." by moving out to their own place.
"When July became December
Their affection fought the cold,
But they couldn't quite remember
What inspired them to go.
And it was beautifully depressing
Like A Streetcar Named Desire.
They were fighting for their love
That started growing tired."
This means as the relationship (and weather) change they're having difficulties with how they feel about one another.
They're starting o see the flaws of one another and can't get past them.
A street car named desire is a depressingly beautiful play about newlyweds, cheating, rape, love, hate, and insanity (go watch it! lovely).
Their love is literally growing tired, they're starting to fall out of love.
"Money lost momentum
And the bills were piling high.
Then the smile, it finally faded
From the apple of their eye.
And they were young and independent,
And they thought they had it planned.
Should've known right from the start
You can't predict the end."
While they're falling out of love and having difficulties, their fighting maybe affecting work or/and they just cant keep up with the bills now.
because of all the money stress and failing relationship stress they're smile is literally fading, like depression.
the next line is reminiscing about a young couples love and their thoughts on the world and how they planned to live it. It then goes on to say you can't predict your future.
"Oh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known.
How I miss yesterday.
And how I let it fade away"
The chorus is just referring to the beginning of their relationship.
Every song I've looked at (from Panic at the Disco) has comments that it's about Jon and Ryan. And yes I bet one or two songs are about them but not every song.
maybe this is about Jon and Ryan, but I would be utterly disappointed if that's the case... they have new members now, and from what I know on ready to go (which they stated was about them) and maybe another song is about them. I don't think they would linger this long and make everything about them
but I believe the meaning is just a simple -what the words say this time, just said in a poetic way (of coarse!)
My view maybe wrong, but then again its an opinion on the song, and how I picture it when I view it in my head
