"This a song about two people from new york city, living in new york city, leaving their respective spouses and they go to an island off the coast of maine and they stay in a hotel and have a lost weekend there....but....umm...it's not going to last... and one of them is aware of this and the other one is not."
-Will Sheff in a live recording |

I guess it could plausibly be a gravestone...but I think the way Will Sheff makes the "stone" a negative thing would be disrespectful if it was about a woman in love with a dead lover. He has too much empathy for a song like that I think. |

watch me jumpstart at the first light of day might be refering to Bob's usual custom of waking up early to get a fresh start on the day. I think the whole song might have something to do with Bob's dreams Vs. his hometown of Dayton and all the people he grew up with during his years of super obscurity. |

They were "popular" when this song was released. Popular, meaning the hot new underground band that the tastemakers wrote about. Bee Thousand was released after "they broke". |
