This album is like a diary to me: each song tells what I was feeling and thinking during a particular experience. "[[My Name Is Jonas|Jonas]]" explains how "the plan" is reaming us all, especially my brother. It's a good introduction to the album. "[[No One Else]]" is the jealous-obsessive asshole in me freaking out my girlfriend and "[[The World Has Turned and Left Me Here|The World Has Turned]]" is the same asshole wondering why she's gone. | This album is like a diary to me: each song tells what I was feeling and thinking during a particular experience.

"[[Undone]]" is the feeling you get when the train stops and the little guy comes knockin' on your door. It was supposed to be a sad song, but everyone thinks it's hilarious. "[[Surf Wax America|Surf Wax]]" is a totally sarcastic call to hedonism, so sing along, drink and be merry. I hate drinking and only do so when I absolutely have to (which these days, seems to be quite often). "[[Say It Ain't So]]" is also about a beer. "[[In The Garage]]," "[[Buddy Holly]]" and "[[Holiday]]" were written in a sudden burst of confidence and optimism right after we got a record deal. Those positive emotions have since dissipated -- along with our cash advances -- but I still like the songs. | "[[Undone]]" is the feeling you get when the train stops and the little guy comes knockin' on your door.

None of these songs are perfect, but I think you can hear that we're trying hard to be honest and real. Pat really kicked ass on the drums and Brian, Matt and I sang with a lot of feeling. The record sounds kind of weird, but if you turn it up extremely loud and lie down, it can be rewarding. | None of these songs are perfect, but I think you can hear that we're trying hard to be honest and real.
