Straight from the Horses mouth, the amazing Mr John Darinelle speaking about the song at the start of a live recording. (Will’s Pub, Orlando FL, 4.9.03)
"So there you are, in your room. And you're not by yourself all though you feel as though you are. And the same thing is going on in your attendants mind but no one is saying anything about it. Because a lot of people, including the people in this song think 'If I just don't say anything, then magic will happen and everything will change' Nothing will change, only thing that’s going to happen is that they’re going to fall back into an old behavior pattern and for somewhere between twenty minutes and three hours depending on how much they’ve have had to drink, it’s going to feel really really intense. But afterwards it’s a bad situation.”
