When I hear this I think about being more jaded and vanilla as we grow up. There are obvious hints at the past her and a certain sense of nostalgia. In the first verse she talks about how foolish and unpredictable "teenage" love is. When we are kids we get caught up in the moment. Our hearts are pure because they haven't been broken yet. Because of this our relationships are ruled by passion and emotion rather then thought and logic, hence the staying up all night. The second verse, if you will, is presumably describing how we are when we are older. We are jaded and broken, therefore not being to comprehend how we fell (she doesn't know if he heart is bitter or sweet). We are cozy and cold, our passion is gone and we look at relationships with more logic and reason then in our youth, we "put the horse before the cart". The chorus comments on here while we grow up we never forget who we really are. It seems to suggest that who we were when we were kids is much better then the people we have become. We still believed in true love. Our hearts had not changed. She further reinforces this with "money can't buy you back the love that you had then". We grow up, get careers and make money but what is life without love? The money we make wont matter, regardless of how important we claim it is, because it cannot buy us back our young, love filled heart. |
