This song is a hymn to drinking friends long gone and mourns the fact that you can't go drinking every night with them when you're older like you once could before responsibility.
The lyric: "Another sunrise with my sad captains, with you I choose to lose my mind" comes from a line in Shakespeare's play Antony and Cleopatra. It's adapted from when Mark Antony speaks about his drinking partners: "Come, let's have one other gaudy night; call to me all my sad captains; fill our bowls; once more, let's mock the midnight bell."
The line "we only come this way but once" is a bastardisation of William Penn (founder of Pennsylvania). He was talking about realising you only have one life, realising your own mortality.

Love the line "What a perfect waste of time". Sounds to me as he did`n regret it! He forgives himself!
