i can't believ only 3 ppl commented on this song! this is the first ltj song i ever heard. i can actually say that this song changed my life. I wouldn't have been the same person had i ltj not gotton me into the punk scene in my town, etc., and just listening to them... well, it made all the difference (robert frost poem: two roads diverged in the wood and i took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference. Less than jake was my difference). good lyrics, good song, tear for no horns, but hey, and the best song title ever. (esp good in charades)

I think this song is about Growing older and getting lost in yourself. And he wants to be reminded what hes doing here, because the world just seems to big to deal with.

I think this song is about how much growing up in the world today is so much different than it was years ago. Great song.
