I could write a whole book about this I think about lyrics a lot.

"I won't think about it and when I do it all comes back to you.'. The song really captures the obsessive loop of trying not to think about someone or something, but you keep going back to it anyway. The contradiction there - "I won't think about it" immediately followed by "and when I do" is perfect. Suicide, by the high water marks. Really that whole album is a gem

"Make believe you're kissing someone you'd make time for". Chasing, by worriers. For all those times you feel like the other person isn't making time for you, but maybe taking advantage of you.

For any lyrics I've always found it really hard to share it with someone else in a way that lands. The "cool story bro" reaction is most common.

Alas I have to go back to work instead of writing any more.

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end” Closing Time by Semisonic.

A great reminder that you never know what’s around the corner. We tend to catastrophize, but what if things work out in the end? It’s kind of a “liminal space” song about transition from one place to the next. Always stuck with me.

“Did you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead-role in a cage?”

I had twa corbies stuck in my head for literally years man. The meditation is real.

Every now and then I’ll have that “oh oh ohh, it’s magic! You knooowww” lyric pop into my head. Followed by a higher pitched “never believe it’s not sooo”

The Dead Flag Blues. All of it. It went like this...
