To me, this was an immediate stand-out on the new album. I like how it approaches the the idea from both sides: guys who mistreat and objectify women, and guys who shyly don't know what to do about their own hearts.
The first verse ends with the former "getting what they want," namely sex. But not love...
The second verse is about the latter group, those who know love is more valuable than sex, but have no idea how to get to there.
The last line really stings in that sense: "They won't get what they want."
Hooray for Death Cab getting track placement correct yet again. This is the perfect track 3.
