The opening song reminds memories of Sharon Van Etten with her former lover, in which countless things had happened then, but she had no clue of what they were at the given moment. It depicts the feeling of not knowing what happens as the situation occurs, except when it only becomes a remembrance....
Sitting at the bar, I told you everything
You said, "Holy shit, you almost died"
Sharing a shot, you held my hand
Knowing everything, knowing everything, we cried
I told you everything about everything
I had no idea, I had no idea
We held hands, we held hands
We held hands as we parted
We knocked knees, we knocked knees as it started
I told you everything about my first time
I told you everything, no change in your eyes
I told you everything, no changing my mind
You said "Holy shit, we almost died"
I had no idea, I had no idea
