This song does a good job of taking me back to middle-school/high-school in the 90s. I hate to say it’s a vibe because I feel like I use that phrase too much, but I think it’s too accurate a word to describe this song. That constant and beautifully simple guitar strumming. It takes us on a journey.
“Names carved in the pavement, on the corner of the block where we all came from, when we were water bottle boozing in your basement, older sisters always hate it when we blame them, closet full of sweaters, from the 90s when our folks were still together, yeah, love is blinded by the pressure of forever, we made a bloodoath said we swore we’d do it better”
I find the idea of this song, the planning of the kind of adult you’re going to be in the future, pretty fascinating despite the fact that I don’t know that I ever really did it. I’m still in the mode of planning the kind of adult I want to be. It’s ever-evolving honestly. A lifelong learning experience, right?
How many of us can say that we’ve “woken up feeling older?” Even though I feel like that everyday, here’s a reminder about it being a mindset. You control the weather in your immediate vicinity, and you can be as young, lively, and vivacious as you want.
Enjoy this great song. Do something today that makes you feel young again! Tap into that inner child you used to be!
Be good, do good. Love you.
everything, etc. 
Interesting take on the song. There’s nostalgia for sure. But to me it’s about all things eventually coming to an end. Especially relationships. And about our early, naive beliefs that somehow for us it will be different, and forever. We dream about what that forever will look like.
And then we’re angry or sad when the inevitable happens, even though if we had clarity from the start we would have known that end was always going to come.
Anyhow… sorry for the gloomy interpretation. Zooming out it’s just one more reminder to be present for the moment we’re in, because everything is impermanent.
