The protagonist is reminiscing about his wild youth, where he and his friends would gather on a porch, drink, and reflect on their past. They would have crazy nights where they would either be full of joy or overcome with emotion. The protagonist warns his partner, or "girl", to keep moving forward and enjoying life, despite the hardships, because in the end, they will either be flying high or feeling down.
