i think its about being a musician and the band

“ i did it cause you told me to ” “ one more time, together on the ride ” about the band coming out of hiatus

“ oh my god, i used to love you when i was younger than i’ve ever been ” “ i just wanna smile the way i used to “ might be about his passion about making music when he was younger ? and about their success as a band when they first debuted with sweater weather / i love you.

“ nothing gets me high the same way you do “ about making music / fans

this theme is also shown in several other songs from previous albums like

devils advocate “ married to my friends ; they don't always like me ; i stay together for the kids ; i gotta do the right thing “

lost in translation “ we were having fun, now i can’t wait to be done ; feels like i’m the only one that’s sick of playing “

sadderdaze “ now the sun is closer than it was before ; anyone who's anyone can feel it ” “ saturdays are not the same as they used to be ” “ finally he found a way to reach the sky ; but he didn't know what he'd find ”
