Lyrics
I think that I’m gonna miss the
Reflecting on the potential nostalgia for the struggles once they are overcome.
Struggle if it all pans out
Expressing a willingness to miss the challenges if everything works out in the end.
I guess I’ve always had a thing for trouble
Admitting a persistent attraction or inclination towards trouble.
Since I learned how to mess around
Stating a long-standing relationship with mischief since the speaker learned to engage in it.
Yeah, I feel so split like I want
Describing a sense of inner conflict or duality, wanting to rename a different aspect of oneself.
To give the other me another name

When I get in the fix
Anticipating a problematic situation and resolving not to betray others when in trouble.
I won’t ever rat 'cause I
Committing to loyalty and solidarity, indicating a shared identity in difficult situations.
Know we’re both the same
Highlighting a sense of unity and commonality with someone else facing challenges.
I could never grow up but I don’t feel stuck
Expressing resistance to the idea of growing up but not feeling trapped in that resistance.
I'd never even think to blame

This all on luck

It might sound like I’m down but I

Think that I’m trying to be positive

So go ahead and pour another round while I
Encouraging others to indulge in enjoyment while the speaker grapples with understanding.
Try to wrap my head around it
Acknowledging a struggle to comprehend or come to terms with a situation.
I think I’m saying just right now
Indicating that the speaker's perspective is focused on the present moment.
This might be the best we’ll ever have
Suggesting that the current situation might be the best the speaker will experience.
So won’t you pour another cup and give me
Asking for a positive gesture, perhaps seeking reassurance or comfort from others.
A smile like it ain’t so bad
Desiring a smile to counteract the perceived negativity of the situation.
I'll never grow up but I don’t feel stuck
Reiterating a resistance to the idea of growing up without feeling confined by it.
I'd never even think to blame

This all on luck
