When I listened to it, I thought it was about a group of teenagers running off having the time of their lives. Maria from New JerseyI was a kid when the song came out.Her life went completely in reverse to the point to where at her end she was looking for her mom and she was (in her head) a little girl again. Also just so happens my friends dad is in hospice passing any day now and he has Alzheimer’s and I was just talking to him about the process I watched my grandma go they when she had it. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing reading this. I am so glad I stumbled across this song and it’s true meaning. When I got to my friends house (who also shares a love for good music) I told him “you’ve got to hear this song! I totally forgot about it but when it came on my mouth just started singing all the words-didn’t miss a beat like I’ve been listening to it regularly the last 20 years!” Lol after I played it for him he was like holy (crap) I forgot about that song too and we started discussing the lyrics which lead to a Google search and here I am. Then I got into my rental car this morning and it has SIRIUS radio in it and I started jamming out to the 90s on 9 and boom this song came on. I thought it was about suicide honestly and then I didn’t hear the songs for YEARS…actually forgot about it completely.
