Yeah, for now, at least, I'm really coming around on this song and its placement.

"I am a recluse in search of new friends" is such a PJ lyric

Yes! There are some parts of the song that are great. Overall it's a bit uneven for me.

So I say to them, never say goodbye
A little trick I play on my mind



What do you all think is going on here? I really like this section (best part of the song. Both this and Take the Long Way end on these detour moments that are the highlight).
I think the last part is "So I say 'till then', never say goodbye"... which isn't that much different, but is way better.

Without having looked through all the lyrics yet, I find the album has a lot of these clever little turns of phrase and lines that really stand out.

Honestly i think with the chord structures (A to G, D to C) its very just...rock n roll. Its very tom petty. The A to G and rhythm is damn near exactly listen to her heart. So, my point, i truly just believe he wrote this little last section as a dedication and goodbye to tom petty.

"she was a singer in a rock n roll band" i mean, what tom petty doesnt have that line in it?!

I dont think this section means anything to the larger context of the song, but a straight moment to honor tom petty.

This is a really fun song, and it gets better as is progresses. Agree with Strat on the Petty tribute too.

This feels a lot more substantial to me than just another "punk pop spritzy wordy songs" song.

I really don't understand some of the hate; I like this one almost immediately after first listen. Definitely beats more of the pop-ish rock songs of the last two albums.
