Meaning of 102 lyrics by Matthew Healy (Ft. The 1975)

The song "102" by Matthew Healy of The 1975 is about two people in a romantic relationship who always come back to the same spot—"the common"—where they began. In the song, the narrator speaks of having smoked six of the ten cigarettes he bought an hour ago, and how he likes the look of their partner's shoes and the way they look when they are arguing. He expresses his hope that when they grow old, the song will remind them of how he's not "half as bad as what you've been told", and when he visits at "a hundred and two" years old, the narrator sees their partner in pyjamas and can't help but smile. He speaks of how they always come back to the common, pouring their hearts out with their partner's optimistic grin, and liking the cut of their jib and the way they talk about a certain "him". The narrator also nostalgia and remembers a familiar smell on their partner's shirt and contemplates what to do with himself. Finally, he calls his partner at "a hundred and two" years old and they spend time talking about someone else who is getting on to them. The song speaks to the resilience of their relationship, being able to withstand the tests of time, and speaks of the gentleness, love and understanding shared between the two.
