"this song represents a bit of a sea change in my life for me, thats why the record is named after it. i feel like you can waste a lot of time wishing something that is wasn't (and vice versa). i probably spent a little too much time trying to push square pegs into round holes (not literally. im not a child with a learning disability. generally speaking). but then i had a sort of 'yes man' moment. that mentality is reflected in how this song and this record was recorded too. i stopped sitting on a computer at 2 am tweaking literally every kick drum hit, revising compression settings 25 times over, fretting about the slightest sloppy envelope on a sample. instead, i started going with that loose moment when ideas happen and it basically sounds good. the title came from a sticky label chelsea's dad put up on a door in his home office because no one ever closed it. haha. but i liked the phrase cause its like, 'would it kill you not to interfere with things just turning out awesome on their own? you would prefer to try really really hard to ruin it completely? is that it?'"
