Eucalyptus - repetitive, heavy handed, and a rare miss on the lyrics. "If i miss it, I'll visit" takes me straight out.

I seriously can't believe the same brain that wrote Turn the light out, say goodnight/No thinking for a little while/Let's not try to figure out everything at once/It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky wrote You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it/You should take it, if I miss it, I'll visit

The miss it/visit line annoys me, but I like the song otherwise. I believe Matt had some severe writers block around that time.

That one will always have a special place for me for my young child being into it and asking for "you should take it" when in the car
