The final song on There’s Nothing Wrong with Love revolves around contemplating suicide. Stab shows us the thought process of our speaker as they eventually decide that suicide is not the answer, and writing like it would be is wrong.
Make it a time, make it anytime
Make sure that it's not the only kind that others find
I've got a mind, I've got half a mind
To shut down the whole system at the spine with fishing line
I'm really glad there's a grasp to grab
It's only a stab in a wet paper bag, is that so bad?
I wrote a song, it was slow and long
I wrote the words and the music wrong but life goes on
And on and on and on and on and on and on...
Stab was written by Doug Martsch & Brett Nelson & Andy Capps.
Stab was produced by Phil Ek.
