"Lucas" mentioned in the song is the very talented and cool Lucas Zielke
lyrics
people come and people go to sleep
the subway station couldn't hold us all
if you're being careful you can see
the melodies arriving in their heads
I can't write lyrics it destroys my plans
cause my songs are too weird and my songs are too bland
if I could just do it like Lucas said,
well that'd be alright but I can't get past my head
nervous peoples' nervousness
don't pass it on to me
cause I've already got enough
yeah I've already got enough
yeah I've already had enough
of melodies that can't be mine
a ball too tangled to untie
I can't write lyrics it destroys my plans
cause my songs are too weird and my songs are too bland
if I could just do it like Lucas said,
well that'd be alright but I can't get past my head
