Get Comfortable
The Junior Varsity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like i'm not supposed to be where i should be
But i creep
To the backbone of my being
Rasie your flags but keep your distance
Steal and skin go get your reasons
Raise your flags but keep your distance
Steal and skin
I fell right at home in my town
Happy day
And step out into the freezing morning air
Feels good to know that everyone here
Feels good to know that everyone waves by habit
But it makes my day by habit
But it makes my day by
I thought i'd be
Right where i wanted to be
So what now
I crashed the course
Could i get back on it?
Steal ot live and thats my reason
Steal to live
I feel right at home in my town
Happy day
And step out into the scorching day by day
Feels good to know that everyone here
Feels good to know that everyone waves by habit
But it makes my day by habit
But it makes my day by
Now i lay down and stare
Watch my walls
Find the friendly faces
Anyone i know
I feel out of place in my old town
Just a day
Another day
Feels strange to know that everyone here
Feels strange to know that everyone waves by habit
Just another day by habit
Just another day by
In "Get Comfortable," The Junior Varsity sings about feeling out of place in their hometown, but finding comfort in the familiar habits of the people there. The opening lines suggest that the singer feels like an outsider, perceived by the locals as someone who shouldn't be there. But despite this, they still find their way to the heart of their identity. This highlights the tension between the desire to belong and a sense of individual identity.
The lyrics are rich with imagery, such as the line "raise your flags but keep your distance" which could reference territorialism or the labeling of people as outsiders. The line "steal and skin" is enigmatic, but could be interpreted as a reference to survival or protectionism. Throughout the song, the feelings of alienation and the desire for acceptance are juxtaposed, as the singer vacillates between feeling at home and feeling out of place.
The final lines speak to the human need for connection, as the singer searches for friendly faces and anyone they know. It is a poignant reminder that even in our hometowns, we can sometimes feel isolated and disconnected.

Locals read me
People in my hometown judge me
Like i'm not supposed to be where i should be
As if I don't belong here
But i creep
I stay anyway, even if they don't want me to
To the backbone of my being
Because it's a part of who I am
Rasie your flags but keep your distance
People here are territorial
Steal and skin go get your reasons
Some people here are violent and motivated by greed
I fell right at home in my town
I'm comfortable here
Happy day
Being here makes me happy
And step out into the freezing morning air
I deal with the difficult parts of living here because it's worth it
Feels good to know that everyone here
I like the sense of community here
Feels good to know that everyone waves by habit
Even if they don't know me well, we acknowledge each other
But it makes my day by habit
This routine lifts my mood regularly
I thought i'd be
I had expectations for myself
Right where i wanted to be
But I'm not quite there yet
So what now
I'm unsure of my next steps
I crashed the course
I made some mistakes
Could i get back on it?
But I'm willing to try again
Steal ot live and thats my reason
Some people resort to stealing to survive here
I feel right at home in my town
I still feel comfortable here
And step out into the scorching day by day
Even if the weather is unpleasant, I still go about my business here
Feels strange to know that everyone here
Sometimes I feel like an outsider here
Feels strange to know that everyone waves by habit
The routine acknowledgement of others doesn't always make me feel included
Just another day by habit
But I keep trying to make a home for myself here

the guitarist told me he wishes the JV would have ended up a big band like Yellowcard. regardless of whether or not Yellowcard's songwriting is better or more "hit worthy", this band smashes yellowcard on style and technicality. this is an all around cool band with so much personality, and i'm honored to be covering their songs.

TJV was one of the most underexposed and underrated bands I've ever listened to. It breaks my heart that they're not around anymore.

Definitely one of the best albums under the Victory Records label. I really can't think of one track I don't like.
