Birthday Lyrics
It's in the cut of your pretty gown,
Your come-on legs and your pantyhose.
You look so precious with your bloody nose.
We're gonna celebrate,
We're gonna gather around like it's your birthday.
I don't wanna know just what I'm gonna do.
I don't care where you're going,
I'm coming along with you.
Falling and laughing at the drinks we spill.
Just one of those nights that I have to share.
Chasing your death without a care.
We're gonna celebrate,
We're gonna gather around like it's your birthday.
I don't wanna know just what I'm gonna do.
I don't care where you're going,
I'm coming along with you.
We're gonna come together,
We're gonna celebrate,
We're gonna get around like it's your birthday.
I don't wanna know just what I'm gonna do.
I don't care where you're going,
I'm coming along with you.

As mentioned, I think the song is self explanatory, a guy and a girl going home after some drinks to continue celebrations. It reminds me of 'Pick up Truck' in the way he walks the girl home and they really like each other. Maybe "Pick up truck" is the sequel to this song, and this one explains a bit about the two of them at home before the other dude arrives.

I dont think its about a girl that he is with or that he is spending the night with. I think he is talking about cocaine; How it comes on to him i.e. "It's in the way she often calls me out. It's in the cut of your pretty gown, Your come-on legs and your pantyhose. You look so precious with your bloody nose" Also how he feels while on coke, and not caring what happens when he is on coke even if it means death, i.e. "I don't care where you're going, I'm coming along with you" & "Chasing your death without a care."
Finally! Someone of sheer understanding and intelligance agrees with me :) ,haaa I think the same too,I know that Caleb has a past of cocaine,so I'm not really surprised and it just connects so wonderfully. Thanks!

@TheSoupNazii I can see the line of thought, just think it is a bit of a jump needed ... but each to their own interpretation I suppose. It will mean different things to different people.

take a closer look at the lyrics:
Chasing your death without a care.
We're gonna come together, We're gonna celebrate, We're gonna get around LIKE it's your birthday.
I don't care where you're going, I'm coming along with you.
It sounds more like they are gathering around for a funeral to celebrate their life, and he doesn't care whether she is going to heaven or hell, he just wants to be with her.

First time i listened to this song i had the lyrics infront of me, n i read the chorus before i heard it, n i thought oh fuck that's such a load of shit, it seemed like a typical let's party like it's your birthday sorta thing haha, but the way they deliver it is just perfection, so when i eventually heard the chorus i was amazed, I should never have doubted the brilliance of Kings Of Leon, sorry boys haha

I hate to jump on the bandwagon of simple conclusions, but to me, the lyrics are too obvious to not be about sex.
"It's in the curve of your pretty gown" "You come on legs and your pantyhose" "You look so precious with your bloody nose" (possibly referring to anime, but it's doubtful) "I don't wanna know, just what I'm gonna do" "I don't care where your going, I'm coming along with you" "Just one of those nights that I had to share" "She's in a daze, without a care"
There is no other way I could possibly interpret this song.

love this song the meaning is pretty obvious, but I just didn't get the "bloody nose"
bloody nose=blow.coke.whatever you wanna call it. thats my interpretation.
bloody nose=blow.coke.whatever you wanna call it. thats my interpretation.
bloody nose - probably doing coke.
bloody nose - probably doing coke.

Great song, it seems to me that it refers to a girl several years younger than him, in some way he speaks to her as a child; they gather to celebrate her birthday that has already passed.

To me this song is about Caleb's girl Lily. Just how much he wants to be around her and how he appreciates her beauty

One of my favorite Kings of Leon Song, though simplistic and not exactly deep. Hah

I think this song it's about drugs. I might be wrong, but cellebrate reminds me of alcohol and getting high.
"It's in the way she often calls me out" - some girl inviting him to have some fun etc
"You look so precious with your bloody nose" - bloody nose, for shore he's talking about cocaine haha
"We gonna come together, we gonna celebrate We gonna gather round, like it's your birthday" - They got no especific reason to celebrate, but thye gonna drink and laught
"I don't wanna know, just what I'm gonna do I don't care where you're going, I'm coming along with you" - I think that where you going, means a trip............. on drugs. He gonna drug himself with the same thing, that she used
