This one happened from a game we were playing in the studio. It was the end of a long week and we were really tired. We split into groups of two and each of us wrote a chorus in 15 minutes, and we’ll rotate so by the end of the hour we’ll have six chorus ideas. If we like any of them, great, we can start that tomorrow and if not, we don’t have to use any of them, it’s fine. I teamed up with John Ryan, who produced the song. We wrote this slow, Beatles-y-sounding song called “Closure.” And it’s a different melody, but the lyric was “How am I supposed to leave you now that I know you’re already over?” I have this feeling where sometimes I can’t leave my own house. So if you’re here, like, what am I supposed to do? You’re already here, it’s too late.

It was a fun way to write about it in a way that didn’t weigh me down like some of the other songs did. Sometimes writing some of the songs on the record was cathartic and I was crying and it wasn’t fun. This one should feel sad, because it’s such a strenuous feeling that you continuously need closure with a person and it’s never fully finished — but that’s also life. You’re never going to get the perfect closure or ideal scenario when something is ending, because things ending always hurts. Y’know?
