"'I started it with my friend Christian Lee Hutson. It was actually one of the first times we ever hung out. We ended up just talking forever and kind of shitting out this melody that I really loved, literally hanging out for five hours and spending 10 minutes on music. It’s about a dead relationship, but it doesn’t get to have any victorious ending. It’s like you’re bored and sad and you don’t want drama, and you’re waking up every day just wanting to have shit be normal, but it’s not that great. He lives right by Children’s Hospital, so when we were writing the song, it was like constant ambulances, so that was a depressing background and made it in there. The other voice on it is Conor Oberst’s. I was kind of stressed about lyrics — I was looking for a last verse and he was like, “Dude, you’re always talking about the Dodger fan who got murdered. You should talk about that.” And I was like, “Jesus Christ. Alright.” The Better Oblivion record was such a learning experience for me, and I ended up getting so comfortable halfway through writing and recording it. By the time we finished a whole fucking record, I felt like I could show him a terrible idea and not be embarrassed — I knew that he would just help me. Same with boygenius: It’s like you’re so nervous going in to collaborating with new people and then by the time you’re done, you’re like, “Damn, it’d be easy to do that again.” Your best show is the last show of tour.'" - via Apple Music
