I have always felt this song was about a couple who were in love, but something happened and now the singer is having doubts. Referring to Brooklyn as a girl, the singer is asking her to do something that will reassure him of their love for each other because he doesn't like his feelings of doubt. "Are you aware the shape i'm in?" he's asking if she knows his doubts and such. Falling out of love, he can't say those three words.."I and Love and You"
Funny, i wrote a song very similar to this earlier this year before i ever head of the Avett Brothers....
