12 notes. Tap a highlighted line to read it.

The storyLines 1 to 16

The song opens in the middle of an argument. He's tired of being blamed and of trying to fix her doubts, and says he had to step back for his own sake. He doesn't want to leave, but he no longer feels safe staying.

The storyLine 3

The capital AF in the title reads as the usual as f***, meaning really not safe. It also happens to be Air France's code, and Air France Flight 447 vanished over the Atlantic in 2009, one more lost flight on an album named for one.

TeamLine 18

Chicago White Sox

The Chicago baseball club. He names both Sox teams and slides into base in one line, starting a baseball thread that runs to the end of the song. Read another way, it's an outfit: socks worn with slides.

TeamLine 18

Boston Red Sox

The Boston baseball club, paired with the White Sox in the same line to set up the song's talk of bases and being safe.

The storyLine 19

Inside and outside are where a pitch crosses the plate, so the baseball run keeps going right after the Sox and the slide.

BrandLine 20

Cayman Jack

The canned margarita and cocktail brand, its name flipped around. It lands right after she's gotten drunk on seltzer.

The storyLines 26 to 32

Break keeps changing meaning: a breakthrough he's tired of chasing, a break she wants from him, and breaking up for good. Under the wordplay is a simple complaint: he can't understand her anymore.

The storyLine 33

Two cents means an opinion, and two cents is also loose change. So her opinion comes with change in both senses.

BrandLines 41 to 42

Corona Extra

The Mexican beer sold with beaches and waves. A beer in one line and extra in the next make its full name.

BrandLines 43 to 44

Bud Light

He smokes bud, meaning weed, but won't drink Bud Light, the beer split across the line. It lands in a run of drinks with Corona and seltzer.

ReferenceLines 45 to 50

Titanic

The ocean liner that sank on its first voyage in 1912. To ship a couple is fan slang for rooting for them, so the relationship becomes a ship, and he's afraid it's going down like this one.

The storyLines 59 to 65

The baseball thread pays off. A runner who reaches a base is called safe, and bases are also the schoolyard scale for how far things go physically, so with no base left, nothing is happening between them and nowhere feels safe.
