Frontman Justin Furstenfeld tells the story behind the song in this video from his 2015 Open Book tour-
He was so obsessed with a girl, Amanda, that his friends were worried and annoyed. One told him “you gotta make her know how it feels to miss you.”
One of two songs to appear on both The Answers...
[Verse 1:]
White kitchen walls with a thousand windows
Turn on Winston in the den
And I'm still asleep but I can hear the piano
When you make breakfast after 10
And I smell the coffee on your fingers
I still smell the perfume in the bed
The crushed linen roses are on everything
And you're still inside my head
[Chorus:]
You gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
Let her know you're swapping sides
You're not the one with all the problems
No, no
You're the one with all the pride
So just pick your head up, boy, and walk away
Walk the coolest walk that you know
'Cause in a month or two, she'll, she'll call you
You gotta hang up the phone
[Verse 2:]
I hope she knows I've got this memory
That won't ever seem to break or bend
A thick lock and sheet rock is on my windows in the kitchen
I don't think I'll ever take 'em down again
And I've learned a lot from all these breakups and makeups
And fuck ups and fake ups
Things that I wish you could comprehend, yeah, comprehend
But for now, I'll lace up these wingtip shoes, boys
And I'll go have breakfast with my good friends
[Chorus:]
You got to make her know how it feels to miss you
And let her know you're swapping sides
You're not the one with all the problems
You're not the one with all the problems
You're the one with all the pride
[Instrumental]
[Chorus:]
You got to make her know how it feels to miss you
Let her know you're swapping spit
You're not the one with all the problems
You're not the one with all the problems
She's the one that's full of shit
So just pick your head up, boys, and walk away
Walk the coolest walk that you know
Yeah, I know you know that
In a month or two, she'll, she'll call you
You got to hang up the phone...
