“I’d gotten off the interstate and onto this tiny road. And I was just looking around and I couldn’t really see anything and it was raining like crazy, and then at one point it just stopped. I like pulled over on the side of the road, because I was like stressed, and I turned around and I could see the rain and I could see the openness and the mountains and everything.
I saw the plain and the rain and I was just compelled to write a song. I found a pink highlighter in the door of my car and I wrote this song on like this napkin which is so like cliche, I suppose, but it just like poured out of me.”
