my friend nicole and i have been picking this album apart, and i realized today that in the previous line, the background vocals clearly say "couch to couch," but ben doesn't put a "ch" sound at the end the second time... It's more of an "st" kind of sound, and there's no "b" between that and "myself"...

long story short, i think ben's interntionally layering the phrases to make the second one hard to decipher (maybe to sneak something in that he needs to get out without being too obvious...

???? = starts with a hard C, followed by an "ah" or "ou" vowel sound, and ending with "st". not sure what comes between those steps. :[
aahh, i see what you're saying. i'm not completely sold on the idea of it being that complicated, but it's a really interesting theory. ill keep listening to see if i can figure anything out, though.

it could just be that he's launching into the next word early, but i KNOW he doesn't finish a 2nd "couch". lol i have listened to that section of the song so many times that i'm starting to risk insanity! :P

yeah i thought it was "by myself," too. so i think you're right. :)
