Background and writing

During a 2011 performance for National Public Radio's World Cafe, lead singer Chris Barron commented that despite popular belief that the song was about an ex-girlfriend, it was actually written about his former stepmother.[3] On August 10, 2019, Barron tweeted confirmation of this, adding that his stepmother told him he'd be a janitor and live in the basement of a school playing guitar for the rats.[4]
