Well from the waist down,
you dont turn around
Your body takes turns,
like the words, like the words,
that are falling from my mouth,
my jaw dropped down
My mind starts spinning,
starts spinning around all over again

Id let you go, go do whatever, ever I
Hold you close, but your heart says no

This feels like high school, but nothings new,
every other boy tries talking to you
I guess graduating changes nothing at all

Well from the neck up,
theres not much to say
I know I could do better,
could do better anyway
But Im waking up,
here next to you
Ill be thinking to myself what the hell did I do

Id let you go, go do whatever, ever I
Hold you close, but your heart says no

This feels like high school, but nothings new,
every other boy tries talking to you
I guess graduating changes nothing at all

So high school, all over again,
girls trick boys into thinking they like them
I guess graduating changes nothing at all

I got over you at last, but baby, I get the last laugh
Where you going, where you going?
No one cares to know

    this verse makes me think he slept with somebody who had an amazing body but an ugly face, and he regrets doing it cus he just did it for sex,

    Song Meaning:so i personally love this song to death <3
    they performed this song at the all time low concert in nyc where they were a supporting band along with every avenue and we the kings.
    right before they played this song andrew (the super nice & sweet lead singer) was talking to us in the crowd. and he said "this song is about me losing my virginity"
    so yeah thats what the song is about :)

    General Comment:Growing Up.
    Dealing with the drama that comes with growing up.
    Immaturity vs. Mature. The inabilty to deal with certain situations but somehow getting into them.
    "I guess graduating changes nothing at all"

    then also- Putting the popular person back into their place
    "Where you going, where you going?
    No one cares to know
    ...I get the last laugh"

    My Interpretation:Pretty much what everyone already said, but the lines
    "But I'm waking up,
    here next to you
    I'll be thinking to myself what the hell did I do"
    makes me think of this scenario:
    He ran into her at a club, they got a little tipsy, slept together, and that line is him waking up and instantly regretting it.
    After that one night stand, he realizes that she isn't good enough for him, so he finally moves on.

    General Comment:Yeah, I think he ran into his highschool crush and he's still smitten, feeling like he's back in the same spot he once was in.

    General Comment:this song is gets stuck in my head all the time
    it's so mellow sounding for pop rock
    almost like a slow song
    but its still amazingly catchy

    General Comment:it's about a boy being awestruck by this amazing girl, but she doesn't have the same feelings for him. its almost as if he's in high school again submersed in all the drama all over again.

    as the song progresses it shows how he managed to get over her and basically laugh in her face about it. he was pretty much like, "well, im over you. you're not important anymore. in the real world, no one cares about you. get over yourself"

    i love this song and its extremely catchy.

    General Comment:ha this song's been stuck in my head all day...

    as for the meaning, i think it's pretty obvious. probably about a guy running into his high school crush and realising she's still just as attractive and still just as unattainable.

    love this song. it's kind of adorable =]
