      Some one got back on the ramshackle glory Facebook to remind everyone how important it was to help get shit done back in May, seems like a healthier way to respect his music than the way some ppl (friend, I have been there) idealize him as a person and try to make him into a hero.

    I like to think that this song is about that one friend. We all have them.
    They'd do basically anything for us, the small things to the big things. It's always great to hangout with them, you make memories and have a good time. You wish you could do this all the time, but time just gets in the way, and those precious memories with them become even more special.
    Then you thank them for those evenings, those rides home, those diner adventures at 6AM every Wednesday night and them for letting you use their Netflix password.

      Aaron Imhoff exactly. Also if you want to know more then just think about who Pat is, what he’s gone through, and where he was in his life shortly before the song came out:
      Sober, not bingeing on drugs, so binge on shitty movies, and don’t leave the house. “Not dead so” don’t be a “ghost”- see people, etc...

      Like they say in that song I heard today "you don't know how bad shit can get yet".
      Hopefully if that is the case - you also realised your strong enough to overcome all of it, and that the game never demanded that you win or that you lose.
      It only ever demanded that you play at all.

    I lay down an awful wreck
    Pissing out my window and smoking in bed
    The good don't die young, they just haven't had time to
    Fuck up the same as the rest of us yet
    I want nothing, nothing at all
    I'd be driving drunk if I still got drunk
    Rev the ignition, straight on to oblivion
    Into a void as pure as they come
    But if we aren't dead yet, then let's not live as ghosts
    If we aren't in jail, then we can leave the house
    I'll show you that there's reason to hope in
    The spray paint that's all over downtown
    Let's fill up our shopping carts with the things we need
    And just roll out the front door
    Past the cashiers and security guards
    But the magnets trip the wheel locks
    Before we even clear the parking lot
    And take off running through the neighbor's yard
    I lay down an awful wreck
    Mumbling to myself about the government again
    Maybe postmodernism's just an extended tantrum
    About how we don't have our flying cars yet
    I want nothing, nothing from them
    I'd smash every machine if I didn't have one
    Rev the ignition, straight onto oblivion
    Into a void as pure as they come
    But if we aren't dead yet, then let's not live as ghosts
    If we aren't in jail, then we can leave the house
    I'll show you that there's reason to hope in
    The spray paint that's all over downtown
    Meet me at the diner at six o' clock on every Wednesday night
    And we'll get some coffee and pie
    I'll smile, tip the waiter
    Get a ride home: "Thanks for the favor."
    And hope that that's enough to build a life

      The song is about relearning how to live after getting sober. He’s said before that this song is about “feeling crazy because you live a less dysfunctional life than you used to.” He said he’d spend some days just watching netflix and the song is about those mundane kind of things that are normal to most people but weren’t normal to him at the time.
