This song is about Nate's relationship with Rachel Antonoff.
He's a bit of a narcissist so all of his lyrics is about him and perhaps his insecurities.
This is his song to Rachel and his love for her. He stayed with the Antanoff family when he moved from AZ to make the record. So the lines about her mother handing her off to him and all that make sense. I think they must have gotten much closer during the time he broke up his old band and got through that to get FUN. started.
One HUGE correction to the lyrics above.
"And your brother with his best friend
Shares a name I'm gonna need
Really couldn't bring me down"
SHOULD BE:
And your brother with his best friend
Shares the name of an inebriate
Really couldn't bring me down. (IN THE LINER NOTES)
My take on this is that Rachel's brother is Jack (Antanoff) and his best friend is Daniel (the photographer). So it's Jack Daniel's - the whisky. Which is an inebriate. It's very clever of him. And they must have both been acting up a the party.
