This is what I got from the song. This is part of my review of the album for another site
If We Never Go Inside-Perhaps Dan's best entry on the CD....And His last...And I can see why, becuase thsi song would of ended the CD perfectly...but Skiba has an acoustic song coming up, so instead this song just ends of Dan's portion of the CD off....a song about change, growing up, losing friends...and perhaps, now that he is getting (got) married, he is looking back on the past...the friends that have come and gone...and perhaps thatt first love he was talknig about in "She Took Him TOo THe Lake"...Because he sings probably one of the most prolific and stand out love lines we've ever heard from the Trio..."The night never ends if we never go inside...the moon is always full...your calendar, is always pinned on summertime"...He once again brings up a summertime in his life that he wished, and maybe somewhere deep inside still wishes, would never end...Perhaps eluding to that first love that none of us ever forget...He once gain has an AMAZING hook towards the end of the song, one of the most powerful hooks I've ever heard...and he ends that hook sadly..."Helps you pikc through beat up insides..."...And the references to old gorups of friends are evident throughout the song..."We made up rules to follow for good...no wonder we're (by we're, he pretty much means himself), some of us did"...and the chorus...just a great song.
Basically....let me put it to you like this....If they were to make a video for this song, it would start off witd Dan standing at the alter about to say "I do"....the camera zooms into his eye....the music starts...The band is jamming in Dan's childhood neighborhood...with "young Dan" hanging out with his friends....and with that first love that Dan sung "She Took Him To The Lake"...I see young Dan laying in a field with the girl just as the "the night never ends" line starts.....Somthnig like taht.....Dan's thinking about all his past friends and his first love just as he's geting married...
