Lyric discussion by 89layers 

Cover art for Go First lyrics by Damien Jurado

He wants to know if she is going to be alright Ultimately if (they) are going to be alright He’s afraid by her silence and fears she will leave him He is so upset at the prospect of her leaving, he knows it will happen And he’s wallowing in his misery He wants her to say she loves him, even if it’s not true Their friends have sided with her He thinks maybe he is in the wrong He is so distraught and doesn’t even want to attempt to function without her He wants her to say she loves him, even if it’s not true They’re going to break up He wants her to start the discussion He’s nervous she’s going to say what he thinks she is He is so upset about it, he knows it will happen and he’s in agony at that prospect He wants her to say she loves him, but he knows she won’t
