Those Lungs Lyrics

Lyric discussion by crowmisfits 

Cover art for Those Lungs lyrics by Alkaline Trio

first of all the first line is "now i lay me down to pass out wasted again"

when i first heard this song i thought it was about a couple that fights a lot and is kind of on and off but how they always reconcile in the end.

however, after hearing the song a few times and really paying attention to the lyrics i think it's actually about having a long distance relationship and the toll that it can take. i think it's about how Dan misses his wife when he goes on the road and looks forward to coming home to see her.
