In this melodic reflection on life and love, Ben Rector imparts wisdom about the inevitability of growing up and the need for a constant, reliable love in our lives. The song highlights how as we age, our perspective on life shifts from a youthful pursuit of endless nights and freedom to a deeper appreciation for stability and consistency. He emphasizes that while youth is fleeting, the need for 'steady love' remains constant. This 'steady love', he suggests, may not always be wild or free but it's comforting and fulfilling. Ultimately, Rector encourages us to embrace maturity and seek out enduring relationships that offer steady love rather than chasing after transient pleasures.
