Cover art for The Host lyrics by Built to Spill

there is truth to what Doug said, but it's not like he wasn't thinking those words. He's not going okay "cure" here and then "tired" here and then "why." If they were truly meaningless he wouldn't have lyrics at all. He's just the type of guy who is not going to get in the way of the song.
