Cover art for Uncommon lyrics by Umphrey's Mcgee

My initial thought was its about a relationship. Then I thought they were hungover and down on themselves and wrote it as an outlet. Could be both.

Love the chords in "It doesn't have to" makes everything sound so epic.

They really wear their hearts on their sleeves when they write lyrics. Many not on first inspection.
