“…It’s about how when you can’t be with somebody, that maybe you weren’t ready to not be with… and you try your best to, you know, not obsess and be uncool, you know… but maybe the situation is that every so often, when things are weird for them at home they, they still holler at you and break you off a little chunk, and … and you know you shouldn’t, but … but from where you stand, still all helpless and in love, a little chunk is better than nothing, even if it makes you sit at home drowning in self-contempt, ruins your whole workday, you just stand there for eight hours, just hoping to fuck that that guy you hate asks you how you’re doing, so you can look at him and lie and go, ‘I’m fine,’ just so you can make him wear that.
This song is kind of about how you feel in that kind of a situation.”
