This song illustrates how a single hyperbolic thought transforms into a classic hit record.
An image of a recently brokenhearted songwriter comes to mind. Homie misses his girl, but she is gone. The woman has reached her ‘over it’ stage, and he can f e e l it.
His mind sifts through every conceivable setting to stage the perfect reconciliation scene.
‘Going back to the corner where I first saw you. Gonna camp in my sleeping bag. I’m not gonna move.’ - Perfect! Just start at the beginning.
That’s probably not how the song originated. Doesn’t matter.
The beauty is in the way it hands each listener the pen to craft their own backstory.
And to be honest with you, friend ... every lyric after the first just keeps getting better.
