What do these songs mean to you? And has any sort of explaination from the band ever come up about the meanings? I really think the lyrics to both songs are amazing and mysterious (for lack of a better word), and I'm curious as to what they mean.

I think "Just Like We Do" is about a mother telling her child as she grows up she is going to see a lot of thing that indicate that the world is a hateful place, but underneath it all people are genuinely good.

According to Stacy before she plays the song during most shows, "Just Like We Do" is about old-time lovers.

Of course, bands often like to let the fans interpret the songs for themselves.

I think "Head Against the Sky" is a parent singing to his or her child, lullaby-esque.

Its all about imagery. Perhaps the terms don't always have as much concrete relevance as they do abstract value...I love fuzzy slippers!

Heh, I remember her saying that. And then I remember somebody going "Eeewww!" soon after.

I always thought "plank shifted" and imagined people laughing behind a wooden privacy fence... hah. We had wierd neighbors that would scream behind he fence, and I would look through the little gaps between them.

T'was fun. Cool

Oh! I totally agree with you. I thought it was people seeing people through a fence or a dock or something.
