This song contains some of Daniel Johnston's best lines, combining the almost childish simplicity and deeper ability to word his feelings perfectly that made him such an amazing and emotive songwriter. The characteristic cry for love in the first lines is wonderfully balanced by the sudden throwing in of cynical pessimism: "though tomorrow don't look that good." And what a perfect summary in a few words of how fed up we all can feel about ordinariness: "the emotionless mediocrity of day-to-day living."
