Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For another night on the road
This is becoming too routine for me
But I did not mean to hit you up
But I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school
Never going never showing up or had to
Attention had to give, tell us to behave
I′m sick of all this hearing at your age
Becoming another tradegy to society
I'll never fall in line
Becoming another victim of your comformity
Back down
Say it ain′t so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
I took her out, it was a Friday night
I wore cologne, to get the feeling right
We started making out, she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
So get back, back, back to where we lasted
Just like I imagine
I could never feel this way
I′m not okay
I'm not okay
I′m not okay
You wear me out
Just as long as this thing's loaded
I′m in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
Got a body like an hourglass, it′s ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out
When I thought he was mine, she got him by the mouth
Me faced down accross your floor
Me faced down accross your floor
Me faced down accross your floor
Just as long as this thing's loaded
And when you tell all your friends
You′ve got your gun to my head
This song is only wishful thinking
This song is only wishful thinking
Because it feels so good
Because I got him where I wanted right now
And because you know you would
But God it just feels so good
Sorry
Got carried away
It′s something unpredictable
But something that is right
I hope you had the time of your life
The first few lines of the song describe the singer's current state of mind as he is feeling drunk from the kiss of his lover. He is on another road trip and this experience is becoming too routine for him. The singer admits that he did not mean to reach out to his former high school love interest, but he knows that he is not the same person that she thought he was in school. He never went to parties, never showed up to social events and never gave attention where it was needed.
He is sick of hearing about this, especially at his age because he doesn't want to waste his time becoming a tragedy to society. In the next verse, the singer is emphasizing the idea of standing out and not conforming to societal norms. He will not be another victim of conformity of society, and hence he will not fall in line. The chorus of the song has fragments of different songs. It talks about feelings of anxiety- "Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home." The following line is from Blink 182's song, "All the Small Things." The next says, "I took her out, it was a Friday night, and I wore cologne, to get the feeling right." The singer is struggling to keep awake and is jumbling his thoughts and memories.
The following verses are from different punk and emo songs, which create a narrative of a broken man because of his failed relationships. The song also has mention of guns and violence in a metaphorical sense. The last lines of the song are a nod to Green Day's iconic song "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)," and the singer finishes the song hoping his audience, his ex-lover, and his past self all had the time of their lives.

I'm drunk off your kiss
I am completely mesmerized by you
For another night on the road
I am touring again
This is becoming too routine for me
I am getting tired of this routine
But I did not mean to hit you up
I didn't intend to contact you
But I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school
I've changed a lot since we were in school together
Never going never showing up or had to
I've never understood the need to be popular
Attention had to give, tell us to behave
They always told us to behave and follow the rules
I'm sick of all this hearing at your age
I am tired of hearing about how I should behave at my age
Because I don't want to waste my time
I don't want to waste any more time
Becoming another tragedy to society
Becoming another victim of society's expectations
I'll never fall in line
I will never conform
Becoming another victim of your conformity
Becoming another victim of the pressure to conform
Back down
I am stepping back from the situation
Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
I don't want to leave, please carry me home
I took her out, it was a Friday night
I took her out on a date on a Friday night
I wore cologne, to get the feeling right
I wore cologne to feel more confident
We started making out, she took off my pants
We began making out and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
But then I got distracted and turned on the TV
So get back, back, back to where we lasted
Let's try to go back to how things were before
Just like I imagine
Just like I pictured it
I could never feel this way
I have never felt this way before
I'm not okay
I am not okay
You wear me out
You exhaust me
Just as long as this thing's loaded
As long as I'm ready to go
I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
I am in the business of writing songs about misery, let's start over
Got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock
She has a perfect figure, time is running out for us
It's a matter of time before we all run out
We are all going to die one day
When I thought he was mine, she got him by the mouth
When I thought I had him, she snatched him from me
Me faced down across your floor
I was lying face down on your floor
Just as long as this thing's loaded
As long as I'm ready to go
And when you tell all your friends
When you gossip to your friends
You've got your gun to my head
You are making me feel pressured
This song is only wishful thinking
This song is just a dream
Because it feels so good
Because it makes me feel good
Because I got him where I wanted right now
Because I have him exactly where I want him
And because you know you would
And because you would too
But God it just feels so good
But it feels so good that it must be wrong
Sorry
I apologize
Got carried away
I got too excited
It's something unpredictable
Life is unpredictable
But something that is right
But something that will turn out well
I hope you had the time of your life
I hope you had a great time
