Life Round Here Lyrics

I can't believe no one's commented on this song yet. Such a good song. Best song on the album for sure. Just the way the song climaxes is brilliant.

I think this song is about sex. "Everything feels like touchdown on a rainy day" is what it feels like to orgasm (Touch down on a rainy day is awesome, because getting a TD in the rain is much harder than on a sunny day).

The way the song advances also gives the feeling of sex. It starts off soft and sensual, before getting to the climax (around 2:25 of the song), then it calms down again, giving the very feeling of working up to an orgasm, and climaxing, and then having it be done.

My Interpretation

phenomenal track. love your take on it and definitely agree with the climactic build up and how it ties in with the overall theme of the lyrics. this album has slowly taken over my life!

@DarkwingDan Definitely not a football "touchdown," since that is an American football term, and JB is British.
