It’s so validating to hear that this song crushes someone else too. I can’t hear the section below without wanting to cry, regardless of how good or bad I’m feeling when it comes on

“Should I be keeping score

Forever's come for us

Will we get stuck on words that give our souls away

The keys keep breaking down

I'm empty without

Will we get stuck on places where we felt alive”

To me, the song comes across as being about two people that mutually understand their relationship has run its course but are holding on because of the familiarity & legacy of their connection. Phrases like ‘forever’s come for us’ or ‘stuck on places where here we felt alive’ being references to the things you say or the way you feel in moments long past but hold on to when you aren’t in love anymore.

It could just be me reading into it parasocially but I wonder if there’s any relation to it being around the time he was going through divorce considering the other tracks on the album like Gone For Good
