My favorite song off the album, I think. All the songs are amazing though (of course!)
Not quite sure what it's about. I see it as kind of... bitterly reminiscent. I see the narrator like sitting on the porch of his little suburban house, with his wife and his dogs, and thinking about the past. How hard life used to be and how he crawled out of it half dead and broken for... the suburbs and some dogs.
Or alternatively, he crawled out of mess his life used to be, half dead and broken, and is trying to settle into this new life and somebody from that past shows up and throws everything ass over teakettle.
I don't know, but I love it. The way he sings the line 'And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty gun' and the chorus. He kills me.
