So far
Sad childhood
His stepbrother died when he got hit by a car while riding his bike
Stepdad found drugs and got him sent to a mental asylum - like something from’The Bell Jar’ - he had to admit he was an addict to get out
Firey relationships with girls

Just ridiculous!
Lyrics ‘I know you want what’s on my mind, I know it eats you up inside’
I interpret the song as mutual lust, a flirtation where both parties know there’s attraction, desire and passion
Scott’s love of drugs and women
How do you live with one person and love another more intensely- how does that keep going?
