    The song is about reminiscing on being young and waiting for someone to save you from your past. It describes waiting for a "beautiful boy" who doesn't look like Jesus but talks like a gentleman, as imagined when young. It talks of climbing a mountain together and taking it easy to make it through. Sometimes the singer closes their eyes and sees where they used to live when they were young.
