Firstly, I think this song is about the struggles of being on tour away from your home and on the other side of the world. While this seems like a pretty generic subject to write about, I think this song is well done and strikes a chord with me.

Partying and meeting new, interesting people in new places on a day-to-day basis obviously creates an illusion of a great life, but when it's all said and done a feeling of emptiness looms and you have nothing to hold on to. One night stands are fun but when the day turn to months and the months turn to years, you start to feel empty inside and want someone to be by your side.

Despite this song obviously being from a celeb's point of view, and therefore on a different scale than what the average twenty something faces, it illustrates a struggle that all young people can identify with as they try to stave off impending adulthood. Living in revelry is very enticing and becomes addicting after awhile, but at some point you have to see that there is more in life and you have to move on. But, this is a tough thing to just let go of and accept.
