Interesting, I thought it was about Jenny Lewis turning 30 and becoming pat of that statistic, or age group.

The song seems to be about Jenny, during some time when they were separated and Johnathan was lonely. "Well, it’s summer time in California" "And we were drinking champagne in the Mulholland hills" Jenny is from LA, Mulholland hills are in LA.

"But you still got a hold on me Even though you’re getting old" Jenny is 31 while Johnathan is 24.

Also, it's "You have taken up with thieves" not "thee"
