Scott Pilgrim V. My Gpa
Mom Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought I'd see the day where we wouldn't get long
You think I smoke too much I think your friends all suck
Can't figure out the reason why our parents fight so much
And I've given up on luck
But I'm happy here
I'll put your bag under the stairs
Don't go back to our old place it's probably locked up anyway
I bet it still looks looks the same as when I ran away that day
It doesn't matter anyway
I sleep well alone now
The overall theme of the song seems to be about a relationship that has come to an end. The singer is trying to understand where things went wrong and why they are no longer able to get along with the person they were once close to. The opening lines "It's hard for me to see exactly where the hell I went wrong / I never thought I'd see the day where we wouldn't get long" suggest that the singer is feeling a sense of confusion and loss, and perhaps even regret for how things have turned out. This is further highlighted by lines like "And I've given up on luck" which suggest a sense of hopelessness.
Despite this, the singer is able to find some sense of contentment or happiness in the present moment, as evidenced by the line "But I'm happy here." However, there is a sense of finality to the situation, as indicated by lines like "So leave my sweater on the porch / I'll put your bag under the stairs" and "I bet it still looks the same as when I ran away that day." The singer seems to be saying goodbye to the past and all that was connected to it, in order to move on and find peace in the present.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it underscores the sense of loneliness or solitude that the singer is feeling, despite being content in their present circumstances: "I sleep well alone now." Overall, the song seems to be an honest and reflective exploration of an ended relationship, with a touch of bittersweet nostalgia for what was lost.

[Verse 1]
It's hard for me to see exactly
Where the hell I went wrong
I never thought I'd see the day
We wouldn't get along
You think I smoke too much
I think your friends all suck
Can't figure out the reason why our parents fight so much
But I've given up on luck
But I'm happy here
I'm happy here
[Verse 2]
So leave my sweater on the porch
I'll leave your bag under the stairs
Don't go back to our old place
It's probably locked up anyway
I bet it still looks the same as when I ran away that day
It doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I'm
Happy here, yes I'm
Happy here, I'm
Happy here, I'm
Happy here
