“Often a heart tends to change its mind / A new day decides on a new design / A new day gets set on another way”. Demarco sings of his inability to maintain his love, yet able to still remember regardless. This theme of age is also mentioned in the album’s first single, “This Old Dog”. The frequently repeated chorus shows his hesitance in the transition to becoming someone who is described as “old and cold and tired and lonely." Yet, the lyrics are contradicted by Demarco’s soothing voice, accompanied by the calm strumming of the guitar in the background. “Uh-oh, looks like / I’m seeing more of my old man in me / Oh no, looks like / I’m seeing more of my old man in me”. The first track on the album, “My Old Man” talks about his fear of growing old and turning into his father. Throughout the entire LP, Demarco references the fleeting aspect of age.
