about

Lyrically, this song was kind of inspired by a period where I was hanging out with a girl, and I never really knew where I stood in the relationship. Sometimes it seemed like we were a couple, other times it just seemed like she wanted to be friends. Either option was fine with me, but it was really confusing, and I just needed to know. I also don't want anyone to feel like they're obligated to hang out with me, if they're not happy. It might suck, but we're all adults. I can take it.

Musically, I was listening to a lot of Dinosaur Jr at the time, so this one has a little less of a pop punk vibe. A little more 90's alternative vibe. When I was writing it, I wanted to go with a minimalist approach to the lyrics. I have a tendency to use a lot of words when I write songs. I think that J Mascis does a good job of getting the sentiment of the song across without using too many words, and I wanted to try my hand at it. I remember Ean originally wanting me to write a second verse, but I explained why I didn't want one. I just wanted a song with a nice melody and some simple lyrics that I feel like people can relate to. I hope I pulled it off. -Jeff

lyrics

You don't have to spend your time with me
You don't have to spend your time with me
If there's somewhere else you'd rather be
You don't have to spend your time with me

If you wanna go, just let me know
If you wanna go, just let me know
You don't have to go, if you don't wanna go
But if you wanna go, just let me know

I can take it

You don't have to spend your time with me
