    This whole song hits me in the feels, but the line "I'm really not supposed to, but yes you can call me anything you want." really makes me cry because he finally found someone who was willing to help him through his pain.

    I love that you can interpret this song as a simple breakup song, or a song about a dead lover.

      I always thought of this song as someone who likes a girl, but can't get over a girl that he loved before that he couldn't be with. And the second girl loves the guy so much that she accepts that he is settling for her.

    AM lyrics have always been amazing. The band has changed so much over years but they are so incredible when it comes to words! Alex has this great ability to sing 6 words when you think only 4 would fit. Their songs are like poems. And this is my favourite one.

    Does no one get that the girl he's singing about is dead
    "close enough to be your GHOST"
    "where's your hiding place," like her ashes ,or her body, is somewhere but he doesn't know where
    " I'm worried I'll forget your face," cause he's never gonna see her again
    " I thought she might understand," the sister is probably feeling the same emotions 'cause she's going through the same loss
    " I'm really not supposed to," the sister feels like she's slightly betraying her but doesn't really care

    • @littletrash5634
      @littletrash5634 4 роки тому

      No sevina, he isnt. His girlfriend died. When he came up to her sister, with the context that her sister (his girlfriend) died, the line "I thought she might understand" makes a lot more sense. When he asks for her hiding place, hes asking where are her ashes or burried body, thats why hes also scared he'll forget her face, because there isnt a physical representation of her anymore.

    This song is very suitable when you stuck in the traffic jam when sunset comes. I stop feel bored due to congestion and I realised I already at my cark park.

    I always thought Alex's hopeless love song were all about his first long term ever gf, johanna bennett... I feel bad for him. Now he's like a God. He can get whoever he wants, but he cant go back with that girl, bcs shes married.... The only one can compares Alex is Alexa... Why dont they just got back together already
