"Can you stay up for the weekend
and blame god for looking too old"
I think Calvin Harris is asking himself this. He wonders why he keeps looking older, but he can't really blame anyone but himself, since he probably brought it on himself by staying awake weekends because of partying.
"Can you find all that you stand for
has been replaced with mountains of gold"
I think he finds that he used to care about a lot of things, but now only care about money and stupid superficial stuff?
"You can untrain yourself to notice (I believe these are the correct lyrics)
to feel pain and swallow fear"
You can learn your self to not-notice, by looking the other way, that you have been going on the wrong path. You can feel the pain, and swallow the fear of losing your dreams, and intoxicating your body by partying too much.
"But can you stay up for the weekend
for next year"
How long can he handle this rockstar life of partying, can he keep doing this next year? and what about the year after that?
"God i can't do this any more
though ill be laid down on the floor
as many feet walk through the door
I'm not alone"
He can't keep on living this life, because then he will break down at some point. But if he breaks down, everyone else, especially the younger people, will continue living these lives.
"If i see a light flashing
could this mean that I'm coming home
if i see a man waving
does this mean that I'm not alone"
Here he is describing clubs: Lights, "waving" people. But he still wonder if he will continue doing this, and if other people feel the same.
This is my opinion, but I can't really figure this song out XD.
