Julian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lives in a car outside of Denny's with paper plates and coffee cups
Told me she's always hated Venice, wants to see Niagara Falls
Oh, and I said I'd take her in September
She smiled and said, "you'll probably not"
'Cause she's this close to moving to her parents in Hawaii
Sick and tired of trying to stay
But she's just like this place
She'll make your broken heart feel a little less forever
When she says she'll see you soon
Takes all my love in the middle of December
Like a premature tattoo
Give you something to forget about your life
She'll keep you up until you feel brand new
Oooh
She really wants to be a singer, but I never hear her sing at all
She says there's not a to feel it, between Vicodin and Adderall
She smelled like tacos and tequila the last time she got out her car
I guess now even I didn't believe it
When she said we'll still be superstars
She'll make your broken heart feel a little less forever
When she says she'll see you soon
Takes all my love in the middle of December
Like a premature tattoo
Give you something to forget about your life
She'll keep you up until you feel brand new
Oooh

The song highlights her longing for change and a better life. She contemplates moving to Hawaii to live with her parents, as she is tired of trying to make it on her own. However, she is also drawn to the streets, which offer a sense of familiarity and comfort.

The chorus emphasizes her ability to temporarily heal broken hearts. She offers a reprieve from the pain and loneliness, promising to see the person soon and providing temporary relief through her presence. The line "like a premature tattoo" implies that her impact on others is fleeting, like a tattoo obtained impulsively before it is truly ready or fully considered.
