That's cheesy, it uses a cliche, and tries to portray an emotion through the overused term.

Not to mention, that's two lines in the entire song...why does everyone make the same exact argument in regards to this song, I want to see someone use any other line/group of lines other than those two to try and make an argument for why this song's lyrics are unoriginal or cheesy.
I didn't misunderstand anything. I meant that it's cheesy b/c this song is so juvenile for dave. I don't get why he makes these cornbread-esque songs. this song is easily the weakest song on the album b/c of a poorly written chorus, imo. I just have higher standards for Dave based on how good the rest of the album is (The Riff and Broken Things in particular).
