Cover art for Jesses Not a Sleeper lyrics by J. Tillman

i want to say this song is about watching a girl you once loved deal with the toils of relationships. but suddenly you find yourself not caring and dishing out mediocre advice.

on a side note... the first time i heard this song was when he played with David Bazan in Pomona, just him and a guitar. i cried. i had just broken up with my girlfriend at the time. her name was Jessica. Jessie for short.
