Kind of amazed this song only has two (three counting mine) comments so far. I think that they're pretty much just being straight up in this song. No hidden meanings or anything. It's just about a group of people who are just making these realizations about their lives on New Year's Eve. As the start of a new year often does force some realizations.
"we wasted the first few hours of a brand new year
wishing we could fly"
Those lines hit me pretty hard. The whole song does, really, but those lines especially. I spent the first few hours of 2011 drunk on a friend's couch, just watching television and thinking about my life, wishing I could fly, as it were.
