I need something to shield out the hurt (rain coat), something to cover it up (sunburn), something to remind me its still there (phonecall), something to drown it out (new car, plane ride). Its a song about leaving someone you love behind because there is bigger and better things to do, but that old small town really brings back memories. Its about growing up, pushing through the hard times. That sorrow really makes itself obvious hearing the song live, but the record does a good job capturing that raw emotional feel.
