Emotion, lyrics and interpretation

I 0:00-0:10 s

A 0:10-0:30 s

Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you

I drink too much and that's an issue but I'm okay

Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them

But I hope I never see them again

PC: 0:30- 0:50 s

I know it breaks your heart

Moved to the city in a broke down car And

four years, no calls

Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar And

I can't stop

No, I can't stop

C: 0:50-1:30

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover

That I know you can't afford

Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

Pull the sheets right off the corner

Of the mattress that you stole

From your roommate back in Boulder

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older

B: 1:30- 1:50

You look as good as the day I met you

I forget just why I left you, I was insane

Stay and play that Blink-182 song

That we beat to death in Tucson, okay

PC: 1:50- 2:10

I know it breaks your heart

Moved to the city in a broke down car And

four years, no call

Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar And

I can't stop

No, I can't stop

C: 2:10-2:50

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover

That I know you can't afford

Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

Pull the sheets right off the corner

Of the mattress that you stole

From your roommate back in Boulder

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older

C˙: 2:50-3:10

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover

That I know you can't afford

Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

Pull the sheets right off the corner

Of the mattress that you stole

From your roommate back in Boulder

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)

D: 3:12-3:50

We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)

We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)

We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older

O: 3:52 4:04

No we ain't ever getting older
