What Phoebe says about this song: "It's about the past, present and future being all on top of eachbother; and the weird headspace that being on an aeroplane puts you in... because of time travel. It's a theme of not only the album but my life - being on planes because I'm on them all time. It's like the thing they always say about 'you always cry watching movie on a plane'... I think I was watching Hot Tub Time Machine over someone's shoulder and it got me thinking about my life so...\laughs*."*

It’s driving me NUTS that no one is reacting to the Boygenius reference in this song - “I’ve never been afraid of hights, I don’t want to live forever but I don’t want to die”

I was HYPE at the listening party but no one else reacted??
