| Everyone really loves this song, I think it is one of the top absolute favourite Moneen songs on everyone's lists. It's on The Theory Of Harmonial Value and also Smaller Chairs for the Early 1900s [EP]. | |

| SONGMEANINGS... post some goddamn songmeanings people, don't argue about how good you think a band is cause really I don't think that anyone cares what some hairy little emo kid 650 miles away thinks about their favorite band. I love you all. | |

| no natedogg, this song is about being on the road away from people you love, the passing of america is just what it implies, its the passing of america as hes driving across the county touring... hes just basically saying even though hes gone so much hes still there for the people he loves | |
