Manchester Orchestra – The River Lyrics 16 years ago
You really articulated this well.

But did you ever consider that maybe the line "I think I know you the best when I sleep" could be more than depicting laziness? It's really too good a line for that, in my opinion. A person's subconscious is far more courageous than their typically over-analyzing, insecure concious. Without a social filter Andy allows himself to know something/someone best, behaving as he pleases.

To me, this song screams of insecurity and a lack of resolve and frusteration with the two.
