A Graduation-Type Song With A “we’re Up To No Good Fuck This Town Let’s Do It Up For One More Night” Twist. I Wrote It As A Last Hurrah To High School Growing Up And In A Sense… The Last Night Of Being A Kid. It’s The End Of One Chapter… With An Outlook On The Future… Sort Of Like A Prequel To The Rest Of The Record." The Music Video Was Directed By Alan Ferguson.
