12:51 is one of those songs you listen to at 2:00 AM, or even 12:51 AM, alone in your bed, thinking about the one woman or guy you love but can't grasp because you know it will never work but you both love each other deep down.
This song is so beautiful. It's the overall epitome of a love story.
First, the man falls in love the female but she's under the age of consent, but they love each other, but after awhile is doesn't work.
He's so bored, like how Julian Casablanca's sounds throughout the entire song, and has no will until she calls him up, wanting more love and attention than ever.
He doesn't care that much. He's bored. He's very apathetic. He just says the equivalent of "okay."
"Kiss me now that I'm older." What a line representing an affair or love forgetten.
