That song specifically is about tour romances. Like, when you meet someone on the road and you become infatuated with the situation and you want to let them in, but you know that you don’t have enough time for it to really make sense – and on tour, you learn to just have this guard up. If I meet anyone and if I have a connection with someone, I have to know that it’s not going to last because we’re constantly moving and we’re seeing the world, it just isn’t going to work out because things just don’t work out that way, right? But then you meet someone and they get past that barrier and it becomes confusing because it’s something you want so badly, but you know can’t happen. And another lyric in that is “fingertips on my back / things I know that I can’t have,” and you have it right now, but knowing that it will go away is hard to grasp, because if you do actually fall in love with someone on tour, it’s like, ‘Shit, what do we do now?’ It’s just a sweet song. I feel like it’s happy/sad.
