The Empty Page Lyrics

"It might help you both to lay off the weed a little."

That is hilarious although I dig multiple viewpoints.

I thought the empty page always related to turning the page in the book of ur life. Ughh that Bob Seger song comes to mind.

Also I recall when he asks "do u remember the time when u were new in town" & it sounds like they were just starting out & u r young & anything u do like smashing "ur head in the mirror" came off as novel. Dylan Thomas's "Fern Hill"'s "prince of the appletowns comes to mind. Growing up suffocated in a small town "time held me green & dying"

However I like some of the above interpretations better than my own. I can be full of it sometimes in my metaphorical stretches.
