| "Are you gonna live your life wonderin' standing in the back lookin' around?" This draws up the image of a wall flower (guys that stand at the sidelines during a school dance) So here, the singer relates life to a dance party or rock show and the lifestyle of being a spectator and never joining in on the fun. "Are you gonna waste your time thinkin' how you've grown up or how you missed out?" This part is about dwelling on the past, and by saying you're wasting your time, he is implying that thinking about how you've missed out in the past is causing you to miss out in the present. "Things are never gonna be the way you want. Where's it gonna get you acting serious?" He's saying that no matter how hard you try, with jobs school money etc, your life is never gonna be exactly how you want it to be. But by trying so hard to get there, your always acting serious and you never have any fun. "Things are never gonna be quite what you want. Or even at 25, you gotta start sometime." "I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go. Now all I need is just to hear a song I know. I wanna always feel like part of this was mine. I wanna fall in love tonight." The chorus brings you back to the comparison of life to a dance party or rock show. Of course anyone knows that it's hard enough to get on the dance floor, let alone start dancing. But it only takes one song you know and like to bring you into the mood, and from then on the floor is yours and no one else exists. You fall in love with the music, with life. "Are you gonna live your life standing in the back looking around? Are you gonna waste your time? Gotta make a move or you'll miss out. Someone's gonna ask you what it's all about. Stick around nostalgia won't let you down. Someone's gonna ask you what it's all about. Whatcha gonna have to say for yourself?" This whole part is about what your gonna say about your life when someone asks you. This is like thinking into the future. Will you have anything to say? You wanna be able to say that you had a fun life in the past. "Crimson and clover, over and over. Crimson and clover, over and over. Our house in the middle of the street, why did we ever meet? Started my rock 'n roll fantasy. Don't don't, don't let's start, why did we ever part? Kick start my rock 'n rollen heart." References to songs, like the previous poster said. 1 | |

| "Kick-start my rock'n'rollin' heart" might be a reference to the song "Kick-Start My Heart" by...I don't know. Some 80s hair band, I think. And Crimson and Clover is definitely by Tommy James and the Shondells. I think they did the original version...many have covered it. | |

| Davey is a singer from AFI XD I doubt that is who Jimmy's singing about, but blah, I just wanted to mention it Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaenyway. I think this song is about seizing the moment and not letting life pass you by. Also, it could be about being a part of a wonderful thing like music and just loving it, or it could be about falling in love. Either or, they all make sense because it can mean so much. I think its all at once. Like, live your life while you can, fall in love with someone, and have the music to help ya through. I 'm loving all the music references, too! ^_^ JEW is the best! | |
