I think this song goes a bit deeper than just old memories. This song is about the putiry of childhood, and how much greater it is than the sinfulness of “growing up”. In the first stanza, it seems that there was some sort of party with crazyass frat boys or something. The sunset was spent drunk and...
[Verse 1]
Be this sunset soon forgotten
Your brothers left here shaved and crazy
We’ve learned to hide our bottles in the well
And what's worth keeping, sun still sinking
[Refrain]
Down and down
Once again
Down and down
Gone again
[Verse 2]
Be this sunset, one for keeping
This June bug street sings low and lovely
Those Band-Aid children chased your dog away
She runs, returning, sun still sinking
[Refrain]
Down and down
Once again
Down and down
Gone again
