This song is about a guy who is finally getting over his fear of commitment and settling down with the girl that has been there for him all along. After being damaged from past experiences in his life, he went through a period of using “tricks up his sleeve” to avoid a serious relationship with her, like leaving her bed before daylight. The girl finally broke him of that habit once they spent countless nights staying up talking and getting to know each other. After seeing what a caring person she is to her friends, at the end of the song he realizes that he finally has someone that will love and look after him from now on, which is all he ever wanted in the first place.

The original version of this song was meant to be on Fun.’s album “Some Nights” but was pulled last minute. When Lena Dunham, creator and star of HBO’s ‘Girls’ (also the girlfriend of Fun.’s guitarist Jack Antonoff) called to add it to the show’s soundtrack, Nate rewrote the chorus and now admits to liking the new version better.
