"Uhm... So, I wrote this song - I was thinking about how you end up in a friendship where you end up their therapist or you're their suicide hotline, and some of us are not equipped for that. It's complicated; that's kinda why I wrote this. It's so easy to feel really guilty and it's so easy to feel like you let somebody down, but the main thing is, try and be there for your friends. Don't be in a friendship because it's fun to watch somebody die. There's a lot of people at the FEST with alcoholic friends and it's fun. 'Oh! That's my crazy friend.' Your friends probably just needs help: it's funny, but it's also sad. If you go home and your friend is still drinking everyday and can't go to a show without being drunk, and can't go to work without being drunk, and things like that, maybe you should try and talk to them. That's really difficult to do; it's really hard to have that conversation. That's why I wrote this because I was feeling really weird about some friendships that I had and some people that I lost."
The song was explained by Paul in this video that was uploaded in 2011. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaWbo1O5mWU
