The scene is dead, but I'm still restless
An hour till the last call I guess
I shouldn't even be here much less
Drinking myself into excess
But I'm not going home till I'm done
Well, go on get gone
Go on and get gone
Go on; you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
Well, everything's another excuse
To keep you doing what I want to
Look, I would really love to kiss you
But I guess I'm in no condition
I'm not going home with no one
Well, go on, get gone
Go on and get gone
Go on; you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
Well, I'm not going home with no one
Not going home with no one
Not going home with no one
Well, go on, get gone
Go on and get gone
Go on; you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
We can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
We can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
We can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
An hour till the last call I guess
I shouldn't even be here much less
Drinking myself into excess
But I'm not going home till I'm done
Well, go on get gone
Go on and get gone
Go on; you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
Well, everything's another excuse
To keep you doing what I want to
Look, I would really love to kiss you
But I guess I'm in no condition
I'm not going home with no one
Well, go on, get gone
Go on and get gone
Go on; you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
Well, I'm not going home with no one
Not going home with no one
Not going home with no one
Well, go on, get gone
Go on and get gone
Go on; you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
We can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
We can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
We can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun

Quite sweet in a depressing way.
A very nice song all the same
and this song is kickass.
but definitely about a party.
Like, party's have gone out of style, but he is still trying to party and get everyone to attend parties.
To keep from doing what I want to
Look, I would really love to kiss you
But I guess I'm in no condition"
That part just makes me want to go write a crappy romance novel. I don't know why but it really punches me hard enough to break a few ribs and puncture my heart.
anyway.
this song, i think, is pretty much what you guys said. Basically, out drinking but i don't really think that he's out with friends mostly because of this line:
"An hour or so until last call I guess
I shouldn't even be here much less
Drinking myself into excess"
it just gives me an image of a person sitting by themselves trying to talk themselves out of another drink. but they decided that since it's almost last call they'll stay a while longer.
and yes, obviously he has had too much to drink, but "i'm not going home with no one," i don't think it means that he doesn't have anyone to go with, i think it means that he doesn't want to go at all. maybe he doesn't have anything else to go to, and since he's obviously met someone who he'd like to kiss but wont because of a list of excuses, he'd rather stay anyway.
and:
"You can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been "
i think that the person he was with is trying to leave, since "you can't go home" is a line, although it could be something he's saying to himself because he thinks it could go somewhere.
I agree with that part, but I also think it has something to do with drinking in order to have an excuse for something. "Everythings another excuse, to keep from doing what I want to, like I would really love to kiss you, but I guess I'm in no condition." He's using alcohol as a crutch so he doesn't have to face the things that make him vulnerable. Because, since he's under the influence its a good reason to do the things that he shys away from doing.
