This song made such an impression on me! It's pretty straight-forward. Everyone has their opinion on how you should live, and it gets to the point where you just have to say THIS IS MY LIFE! LEAVE ME ALONE!
I especially like the lines "First they'll tell you you cant sleep alone in a strange place / Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else" - when I was 23 I was planning a trip to New Zealand. My parents and friends freaked out, insisting I had to take somebody .. when I decided to take my boyfriend of 5 months everyone freaked out again saying "What if you break up! Your holiday memory will be ruined!" And "You shouldn't take a man you're not married to!" Blah blah blah.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to please everybody so do what you want!
@avery_myth Exactly. It's "hey, say what you want to say, but don't tell me how I have to live my life". I'm not going to ask permission of you to live my own life, I'll just do it. I'm the one that has to deal with the consequences anyway, so do me a favor....when it comes to that subject, leave me alone!!

@avery_myth Haha, I went through something very similar! Your last line sums it all up.
