Just dropping in to let y'all know that everyone is entitled to their opinion on what the song means to you, but if you'd like the actual story, I will tell you the tale of how "Jodi" came to be. Her real name is, believe it or not, Jody. He just changed it to "protect her identity". Good job on the guy. Anyway, Meric and Logan came to our town for a little while, and she ended up dating him for the time he was there. Then, in May (as the song goes), he up and left her. This is not a song about a man trying to get over a woman who broke his heart, or a "controlling" woman. He's actually dumping her through the song. That's how she found out it was over. No "cooling off period", no "dust settling". Just a lousy way to break up with a really sweet girl.
