I believe this song is about a girl the narrator knew or had a crush on when he was a kid. And he meets her again after a period of time. "I found the cure to growing older" means he wants to go back to being kids, the way things were because he misses her, "And you're the only place that feels like home"
but he won't tell her he still feels the same way about her like he used to. "Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told"
he refers himself as a kid because he wants to back to the young love and innonence they once had. because she has changed, he feels she is inferior, "And I've got arrogance down to a science " arrogance is defined as - overbearing pride evidenced by a superior manner toward inferiors.
This girl has changed now that she has grown up. Changed in a way that is not respected by the narrator. Hence the chorus "Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are" Ans she can't hide how much she has changed into something she shouldnt have become, "You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up"
What she has become is a dead end. Hence the chorus
"Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lip
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself "
"But for what we've become, we just feel more alone"
they are alone, don't have each other anymore
"Always weigh what I've got against what I left"
he had her once and doesn't have her anymore
"So progress report: I am missing you to death "
so he misses her old self so much...and signifies the end of it(death)

I think that "I found the cure to growing older" means that he has broken a proposal to this girl... like he doesn't have to grow older with her. Sort of at the end of the song
"Someone old/No one new/Feeling borrowed/Always blue" It goes back to the whole wedding thing. The girl has been cheating on him with someone old and he found out about it hence the break up. The song is basicaly about a girl that he fell in fake love with.

...cont. To below, he does miss her if you listened to the bridge - "...so progress update: I'm missing you to death..." - he loved her, they had a relationship for a short time, but they cannot remain together for whatever reasons and must go there seperate ways as is for the best. The title basically says what happened - then, they went there seperate ways (sorry, I said that twice).

It seems to me that this song is about sex with groupies on the road. Being lonely, she keeps him comforted, feels like home. She's the cure for growing older because there's no real commitment there, and commitment means responsibility and growing up. He hates himself for using her, so he has to push his conscience to the side, and he'll never tell her how much this "meaningless" tryst affects him. In fact, he has to lash out at her ("cheap perfume") because he's angry at himself.

"I found the cure to growing older" She's really fun, she's what he needs.
"And you're the only place that feels like home " He only feels safe and comfortable with her.
"Just so you know, you'll never know" But she doesn't understand him at all. She has no empathy.
"And some secrets weren't meant to be told " We use to gossip about secrets. but this one is pretty bad.
"And some secrets weren't meant to be told
"I am sorry my conscience called in sick again" He feels like he's a bad person.
"I've got arrogance down to a science " He's difficult and narcicist.
"Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up "
She hurted him, he's angry. She's a whore or something and she can't help it.
"Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips" It's like: enjoy your last 24 hours.
"I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed "
She's trully beloved.
"They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone"
People say they're not good company, like, they're bad people.
"But for what we've become, we just feel more alone " But what happened made them split, so they don't even have each other.
"Always weigh what I've got against what I left" I think he miss her.
"So progress report: I am missing you to death " Here's the prove.
"Someone old
No one new " He feels really lonely.
"Feeling borrowed
Always blue " He feel like he depends on her and now that she's gone, he is really sad.
