my way of interpreting the song is about two people who fell in love at a young age and ran away together.
i think that at the start of the song they are kind of rebelling against their parents and end up running off together, in my mind 'she was the youngest of the family and the last to be let go' kind of makes me feel like she was overprotected by her parents and just wants to get out
'they decided they would try to make it on their own' to me says that even though they were only young they believed their love could last and they didnt care about the doubts that the people around them had especially their parents they just though their love was enough
i think the second verse is explaining the realty that was kicking in, 'their affection fought the cold' says to me that their love was able to make in through the difficult stages of their relationship
then where it says
'they couldnt quite remember what inspired them to go'
to me means that it was getting more and more difficult and they couldnt remember why they thought it was such a good idea to run off together and they couldnt see the point or if it was worth it anymore.
'they were fighting for their love but started growing tired'
just reiterates my point of they werent sure if this was worth it and the difficulties they were facing were becoming overbearing and hard to handle, hence them floating apart and growing tired of one another.
i think the last verse is where they finally give up on their love,
'money lost momentum and the bills were piling high'
shows that they were unable to afford their living conditions and were obviously having difficulty upholding a lifestyle together (probably because they were to young to start earning enough money or make good decisions about budgets etc)
"they were young and independent, they thought they had it planned should have known right from the start you cant predict the end"
i think this is where they realise that the decision they made to run off together at such a young age was unrealistic and they werent thinking about the future and the consequences.
the song is probably about the band and them losing the members but when i first heard it this is the story that i imagined in my head and i think in this version people can interpret it to being a sad love song and relate :):)
