I was thinking about the relationship with that girl at school and how even though you're very young,

And it's not like a proper relationship.

It can still make you feel those first feelings of connection with somebody in a romantic way, being with somebody and what you can feel like when that doesn't work out.

It's essentially talking about loss.

And it's also talking about friendships being lost between different people as their lives develop, as they grow older.

Things not fitting together as you had hoped they would and what you feel like after that.

That really felt like how we made music back then.

It was like, what do we have around us?

Joe had a lap steel guitar.

I definitely can't really play the lap steel guitar very well.

So it's as good as it could be.

And it's a bit fumbly, but it's something that was there in the room.

And again, if you've grown up listening to Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys, you're kind of fascinated with the idea that they put together different instruments that don't normally get put together.

So we absorbed something from their productions and then felt like it was normal to go, and now we put lap steel, now we put auto harp, now we put casio.

just put these things together because we know we like it when all these sounds blend together.

And then there was more writing that Joe did for like the other section of the song.

The track sounds quite sorrowful at the end, like those vocals are quite exposed, the high range that we're singing in.

Things are sort of falling apart around that.

So it sounds like the musical equivalent of something coming to an end after the words have talked about something coming to an end.

We didn't have long.
