This is my favorite song by him because Jon used C Major, which is a really over used key, yet he made the song sound very original. It’s very fast, energetic, and positive, when the lyrics are actually really sad. It’s just a really creative song. (Verse) “Well she said I know but I just cant tell Everything you've just been saying Lucy was there as well in the dark The kids in the band were playing” (Chorus) “And all the while the girls sang ‘La la la la’ she sang Kicking's for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don't miss And she said ‘I can't love you anymore than this!’”
