Poor Places Lyrics

I'm really drawn to this part:

"Ther's bourbon on the breath of the singer you love so much"

It's funny how such a small element of the song can mean so incredibly much. I think Tweedy is refering to someone he cares about having misconceptions of him. He feels badly about himself and the way he hurts others, but he/she still feels that they are perfect. This concept can also be applied to his listeners. Surprisingly, i love songs where Tweedy is on the giving end of the pain.

@ipromise I feel Tweedy is singing about himself. Especially when you take into consideration the lyrics he removed immediately after these.
