"there are people on the street
they're coming up to me
they're telling me that they like what I do now"
is a reference to his fame nowadays. He seems to reference to it quite a lot, like in At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be), he says:
"And they said,
"Hey Nate, yeah, it’s been a while,
Are you gonna sing?"
And I began to smile and I said,
"You should’ve seen me a couple of years ago,
I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.""
And in Some Nights, he sings:
"Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off"
Which references to how sometimes he wishes he could do amazing things with his fame and sometimes he wants to forget it all and go back to being 'normal'.
The lyrics in their songs are so raw, and that's one reason why I really appreciate them.
