This Is The Song (Good Luck) Lyrics
this is the song where i listen
this is the song where i sit still
i called the dogs off all the things i'm missing
and to everyone but to you before i set sail
i said good luck, good luck, good luck
these are tough times
but we'll get by
good luck
this is the song where you speak up
this is the song where you get moving
you cried some trouble out into a tea cup
and to me but no one else before you threw it
you said good luck, good luck, good luck
these are tough times
but we'll get by
good luck
I put a shore in front of our apartment
and watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain
satisfied that there were none you broke the silence
and after this i promise not to interrupt again
this is the song where i listen
this is the song where i sit still
until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking
and the song is just i love you and always will
good luck, good luck, good luck
these are tough times
but we'll get by
good luck
these are tough times
but we'll get by
good luck
these are tough time
but we'll get by
good luck
this is the song where i sit still
i called the dogs off all the things i'm missing
and to everyone but to you before i set sail
these are tough times
but we'll get by
good luck
this is the song where you get moving
you cried some trouble out into a tea cup
and to me but no one else before you threw it
these are tough times
but we'll get by
good luck
and watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain
satisfied that there were none you broke the silence
and after this i promise not to interrupt again
this is the song where i sit still
until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking
and the song is just i love you and always will
these are tough times
but we'll get by
good luck
these are tough times
but we'll get by
good luck
these are tough time
but we'll get by
good luck

This is a lovely song, and any insight on its meaning would be appreciated, as I find the lyrics to be somewhat obscure. The chorus- "good luck, these are tough times, but we'll get by"- seems disconnected from the verses, which to me appear to tell a story of a couple arguing and then making up. Particularly unsure about the lines "I called the dogs off all the things I'm missing" and "I put a shore in front of our apartment," although I suppose the "shore" ties in with the line in verse 1 about setting sail. And what does "this is the song" mean- is it literally pointing out that this story is being told through a song, therefore "this is the song," or is there a deeper meaning?
@EnduringChill I am still a bit hazy on the exact meaning but I think it’s likely a break up song ( I could be way off but maybe this is around the time Thule split with his ex)? I my reminds me of “Don’t get married without me” in someways. This sort of loss of a partner but also having a deep love for them at the same time. I think the “calling off the dogs” is a giving up of a search in his life. Maybe this applies directly to the relationship. I think “This is the song”...

I think “This is the song” is a direct idea of how he’s going say what needs to be said and listen to what she needs to say before they end the relationship.
