Stevie Knipe said about the subject of this song :
“Adam drove us when we were on tour in the UK. During a long and peaceful car ride near the end of it, we were talking about queerness and the closet and how grateful we would have been if we were able to be out as children.”
In the car with adam on the last day of the tour We talk about rebuilding our childhoods Latches pulled off of the doors
I thought about the first girl I kissed Was a girl I wanted to kiss
But not the first girl I wanted to kiss Ya know?
We were barefoot in the mudpath
On the backside of the house
If i was a little older I’d hold your hand And not feel any doubt
I think about the time that I missed Being a kid feeling like this Feeling like I was in an abyss Right now
I think about myself making lists Of how I’m shit
God I can be so relentless
But at least I’m not afraid anymore I think
And I’m dancing in the light
With my friends while “I Will Survive” Plays over the P.A and I look Across the room
I see the girl I want to kiss
But I’m not sure if she wants to kiss
But at least I can ask Without feeling like shit
