They have talked about this before, im surprised since so many of you guys claim to be die hard mayday fans that none of you know the true answer. They even have a few video's on youtube explaining it.
First its fictional, it is not about any of the band members, as they have said over and over almost all their songs are fictional they just express the emotions given in this fictional event.
Second I would like to add that the song is amazingly beautiful and for all those that stated this was a song about the last time 2 people got to have sex should just be hit by a truck you never actually must have listened to the song.
The true meaning is about feelings expressed for a love one that died in a car accident and that boyfriend/girlfriend being there to hold the person as they pass the the feeling shared in that moment. If you actually listen to the song its spot on. Nothing more, nothing less. Its about having to say goodbye when it wasn't supposed to be done.
The huge rumor that did circulate was that Jake Bundrick ( he is the drummer since most of you obviously aren't mayday fans and just trolling ) wrote this song due to a long time highschool girlfriend died in a drunk driving accident and this was a tribute, if that is true or not will never be known as the band has stated multiple times its a fictional song.
Now for the trolling people that want to argue this u can fine it on youtube, specifically I remember an interview with Alex Garcia ( again he is the lead guitar ) talking about this.
Sorry if I sound angry only because this song has done alot for alot of people that have had this happen to them and half these responses were unbelievably insulting, you all have your own opinions sure but use so kind of god damn logic.
Dude, relax!!! If you get this worked up over something as trivial as people misinterpreting song lyrics, i'd hate to see how stressed you get over really important things. First off, being a fan of a band or a song doesn't mean knowing every tiny thing about that band or song. I love Mayday Parade, and this song especially, but I don't even know the names of any of the band. Why not? Coz i've got bigger shit in my life to worry about!!! And as for not knowing the true meaning behind the song, well so what. I actually...

And as for not knowing the true meaning behind the song, well so what. I actually think that your version (as true as it probably is - and you're right, it DOES work with the lyrics) is a tad morbid. I prefer my own interpretation of a bf and gf separating coz one's leaving town. Maybe not true, but still fitting with the song and a whole lot less miserable.
Anyway, peace, bud. It's an awesome song either way and should be a whole lot better known.
@horan116 Love, I understand your frustration, obviously you're passionate about the band and what they make, what they give us. But the point of music is sharing and, this is just an opinion on the matter, maybe the artists don't always tell us the true meanings of their songs because it's meant for us to find our own meaning as well as what they intended.
In every form of expression, there's intention and interpretation. Both are equally welcome and that's the point. Sure they had their own ideas, intentions, for their songs, but it's just as much about giving the...

Sure they had their own ideas, intentions, for their songs, but it's just as much about giving the world something to work with as giving them something that's already been made sense of and laid out. For me, I relate because, while my ex didn't die in a car crash, he did die but I wasn't fortunate enough to be able to hold him. He was travelling abroad while I was in school when he died of an illness that we couldn't save him from. It broke my heart and I had my first drink crying on my best friend's sofa.
It is an amazingly powerful song full of love and nostalgia. Keep that love in mind when you respond to people who are just trying to relate it to something they understand as the full circumstances aren't always spelled out, which is the beauty of music- you don't need every little detail to feel it all.
