When he wrote this song, he was a young teenage kid just starting nsn. He was dealing with his life the way all of us are, and spending many nights alone writing music, smoking weed to escape from his thoughts, and trying to figure out how the f*k he was going to live. I can imagine him in his basement, recording this song and thinking about a girl who he felt he let down, and how she is in his thoughts and still means so much to him. This song is a reflection of that entire situation and how "overtheyears" he was changing, growing, and feeling emotion, and that this girl (whoever she was) inspired him to say "You're the one who keeps me asleep, on the nights where I can care less If I ever woke up again."
