Maintain Lyrics

Cover art for Maintain lyrics by Steve Burns

This is probably my favourite song on the album, it's got a beautiful, airy guitar sound and pleading vocals which lead me to believe it's about that feeling you get when you know you should probably break it off with someone, but you love the way they make you feel about yourself. The companionship and the love--whether it's actually there or not--makes you feel whole, so you sort of try to "maintain" a relationship, inventing something in your head about how it's all actually perfect, i.e. "Turn it all into a harddrive And plug me in I don't want to know"
