This song is so warm and the layered vocals so incredible I don't even care what it's saying. But then it seems to be saying a lot. The narrator is headed back home to a coastal city perhaps, certainly somewhere they consider home from somewhere they do not, contemplating their love interest, their faults, and the state of the nation to a lesser degree as a backdrop. It's a love song, as the last stanza clearly implies. The narrator is not sure why they feel how they do for their interest, trying to tie it down to words, overexplaining their feelings and thoughts. It ultimately comes down to wanting to forget what could be one's most prized and personal word, their name, for the sake of all the feelings that the narrator both rallies against, tries to tame and cannot control. It seems like a disservice to this song to try to explain it, a bit ironic even, but especially a disservice with my minimal analysis. This is a wonderful treat to chew on until the album comes out.
