When the boys' father resigned from preaching and their parents divorced in 1997, Nathan and Caleb relocated to outside Nashville and originally embraced country music. Except for a five-year period when they settled in Jackson, Tennessee, the Followills' childhoods were spent driving through the southern United States in a purple 1988 Oldsmobile, camping for a week or two wherever Ivan was scheduled to preach. They were either home-schooled by their mother, or enrolled in small parochial schools at this time. According to Rolling Stone magazine, "While Ivan preached at churches and tent revivals throughout Oklahoma and the Deep South, his boys attended services and were occasionally enlisted to "bang on some drums". Jared attended Mount Juliet High School, while Matthew was born and raised in Mississippi. Nathan was born in Oklahoma, and Jared and Caleb were born in and around Memphis, Tennessee.

He's talking about how he doesn't like to complain but here he goes anyway is what I think and the only way he knows how to describe that is by saying that he's afraid of the sound of the words. He's in love and everyone can see it clearly but that doesn't keep him from contesting his position so to speak this is hard to explain but I relate so let me try it's like even tho at the end of the day we know where we stand that doesn't stop us from argueing our views and dislikes about our significant other. He's talking about being in love and how it's an eternal struggle and relentless never ending battle so water never sees the ground.
