What's this song about?

1
The summer ends and we wonder where we are
2
And there you go, my friends, with your boxes in your car
3
And you both look so young
4
And last night was hard, you said
5
You packed up every room
6
And then you cried and went to bed
7
But today you closed the door and said
8
"We have to get a move on.
9
It's just that time of year when we push ourselves ahead,
10
We push ourselves ahead."
11
And it was cloudy in the morning
12
And it rained as you drove away
13
And the same things looked different
14
It's the end of the summer
15
It's the end of the summer,
16
When you move to another place
17
And I feel like the neighbor's girl who will never be the same
18
She walked alone all spring,
19
She had a boyfriend when the summer came
20
And he gave her flowers in a lightning storm
21
They disappeared at night in green fields of silver corn
22
And sometime in July she just forgot that he was leaving
23
So when the fields were dying, she held on to his sleeves
24
She held on to his sleeves
25
And she doesn't want to let go
26
'Cause she won't know what she's up against
27
The classrooms and the smart girls
28
It's the end of the summer
29
It's the end of the summer
30
When you hang your flowers up to dry
31
And I had a dream it blows the autumn through my head
32
It felt like the first day of school
33
But I was going to the moon instead
34
And I walked down the hall
35
With the notebooks they got for me
36
My dad led me through the house
37
My mom drank instant coffee
38
And I knew that I would crash
39
But I didn't want to tell them
40
There are just some moments when your family makes sense
41
They just make sense
42
So I raised up my arms and my mother put the sweater on
43
We walked out on the dark and frozen grass
44
The end of the summer
45
It's the end of the summer
46
When you send your children to the moon
47
The summer ends and we wonder who we are
48
And there you go, my friends, with your boxes in your car
49
And today I passed the high school, the river, the maple tree
50
I passed the farms that made it
51
Through the last days of the century
52
And I knew that I was going to learn again
53
Again, in this less hazy light
54
I saw the fields beyond the fields
55
The fields beyond the fields
56
And the colors are much brighter now
57
It's like they really want to tell the truth
58
We give our testimony to the end of the summer
59
It's the end of the summer,
60
You can spin the light to gold.
