Hmm. I've never really given this much thought since I don''t care for the song too much, but since Stevie has said this song is about the ghosts of relationships past, my guess would be that those lost girls and boys are people from past releationships. The crushes, the troublemakers, the subject of fights and jealous fits, the secret (and sometimes not so secret) loves, the "other" man or woman, the stranger you pass on the street that looks at you like they know you from a past life and makes your head spin because you think about them for days or weeks.

Sometimes, all that fades away or gets put to rest. Then, you just see yourself for who you are, and who you've been in the past doesn't matter anymore. The ghosts are gone.
