This track is about the urgency and the fleeting nature of youth, with phrases like "don't wait for no one, tonight's the night" and "I can't leave before I die," emphasizing the idea of seizing the moment, something that may resonate with those feeling the weight of time pressing down on them. It blends celebration and introspection perfectly, urging listeners to embrace the fleeting moments of youth while acknowledging the inevitability of death. The title is also a reference to the fact that we are all passengers of time.
