"Yeah, the song is sort of about my abject poverty and pathetic existence. I have this girlfriend that I really like a lot and I feel really, really bad that I’m what she gets. You know what I mean? Sort of like I feel that she’s made this blind choice, not knowing how it will turn out and what it could really be if you lift up the box and there’s just me on the couch, 40 years old, I haven’t had a job for a long time, ‘see you when you get home, honey.’ It’s a sad song, a warning to my girlfriend: get away from me while you’re still young."
