me and you / oh, I guess we’re all
we’ve got / I know that we’re not /
what you envisioned.’
“There’s an image of people being together as they picture their
lives. You look back years later
and realize that we are nowhere
near that image you had in your
head of what we thought we
would be like. And you only hope
when you have these thoughts
running through your mind that
you’re not alone. I’ve got to give
some of that up, hoping that people also feel the same way.”
Scott is a very biographical songwriter and has been since the
beginning of the band back in
1996. Several albums later, he
knows that the stuff he personally
doesn’t want to talk about is exactly what the audience wants to
hear the most. With “Little America”, he includes some of his most
personal songs, such as “Leaving
New York” which deals with the
struggles of being in a long-term
relationship with someone hundreds (and sometimes thousdands) of miles apart and never
wanting to leave her.
