What's a song with lyrics you didn't fully understand until you were older?

There are probably a lot of candidates, as I often don't understand much!

Obvious ones would be American Pie, or My Name is Michael Caine ( I didn't know what that was about until a couple of weeks ago), or lots and lots of songs about Irish history.

The track I'm picking is a song that I didn't appreciate until I got older. This is because I think it's about aging, and looking back

I've posted Dusty's version before, so it's the Byrds this time. I really like the Pretenders version too but I don't think it's on Apple Music
