• I don't think there's necessarily a story, but there's definitely a theme here. One of my favorite kind of dark jokes is, "How do you make God laugh? You make a plan." Nobody ever makes a plan that they're gonna go out and get hit by a car. A plan almost always has a happy ending. Essentially, every plan is a tiny prayer to Father Time. I really like the idea of a plan not being seen as having definite outcomes, but more like little wishes.

• I feel like there's a lot of beauty in the darkness of Narrow Stairs, but that's not really a place I'm ready to go to for a while. I'm interested in taking a different approach and having the next record be different in tone — I'm just not interested in making another dark, dark album.

• It wasn't quite what is seemed: a lack of pleasantries <br> (My able body isn't what it used to be) <br> I must admit I was charmed by your advances <br> Your advantage left me helplessly into you

• I wish the world was flat like the old days <br> Then i could travel just by folding a map <br> No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways <br> There'd be no distance that could hold us back

• I am waiting for something to go wrong <br> I am waiting for familiar resolve
