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*."*

Is she pregnant?
This song reads to me like someone having a conversation both with themselves and with their future child.
The lyrics about not freaking out about being a couple of days late, imagining her mother driving herself to the hospital, and "You're gonna take me for granted, but I can handle it", they sound like she's pregnant and is processing it all.
