full of plenty of wonderful memories. But there were also the disappointments, “injuries”, apprehensions and what have you. So it’s like they truly grew up in life together. The “years” they have spent together may have been “golden” in general, i.e. We can definitively ascertain that the singer is in fact in love with the addressee. Moreover she has apparently been so for a lengthy amount of time, seemingly going back to their youth. But she isn’t sugarcoating the experience, as such songs tend to do. Terminology-wise, this is made most evident by the fact that she refers to this person as “darling”. But also sentimentally, the main idea being put forth is shall we say a reluctance to stop loving him.Īnd perhaps that may sound like an unflattering way to describe being in love with someone, but such is the nature of this track.


Who is this individual?īy the time the choruses roll along, we are made aware of the fact that said individual would apparently be her significant other. These reflections harp back to the days when she was ‘young and out of her mind’. But leading listeners down this path, as if the song is based in the past, is sort of an act of misdirection. And why? Because at the end of the verse, it is revealed that she shared the experiences alongside an unidentified addressee, who is the actual object of the song. We have the vocalist delineating certain activities that she was apparently engaged in on a regular basis, such as “payphone calls, cigarettes (and) shower sex”. She also alludes to the idea that she may have nearly lost her life a time or two.
