AnonymousPlease update the fourth line of the lyrics to "Turn all of the lights up over ev'ry boy and every girl".Dan told an audience - very famously - what the song was about. Tom Smith from New York, NyYou could not be more wrong about the 'double meaning'.King Bazaar from Maryland Heights, Mo"You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here" was cliche long before this song came out.Fanograss from IllinoisAlso in an American Dad episode.Randy from UsaThe line "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" is actually from Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, a Roman philisopher who died somewhere around 65AD.Thank you Dan Wilson for writing this gem.

Dan from New JerseyAwesome song with so much meaning.That's when the full gravity of the song hit him, and he realized how much Coco influenced it.
According to Wilson, the ambulance driver who transported them home asked if he was the same Dan Wilson from the band. That day finally came nearly a year after Coco was born she left the hospital in February 1998 on the same day "Closing Time" was released as a single. This song took on a new meaning with the line, "I know who I want to take me home," as Wilson was looking forward to the day he could bring Coco home. Wilson's bandmates offered to postpone the sessions, but he asked to move forward with them, since there was very little he could do in the hospital. Shortly before recording was scheduled to begin, Wilson's wife experienced complications with her pregnancy, and Coco was born three months premature, weighing just 11 ounces. "It's all about being born and coming into the world, seeing the bright lights, cutting the cord, opening up into something deeper and more universal," Wilson told Mojo. Halfway through writing the song, he realized it had a double meaning. Semisonic lead singer Dan Wilson wrote the song when his wife was pregnant with their first child, which turned out to be a daughter named Coco. This song has a very literal meaning - being asked to leave a bar - but it goes much deeper than that.
