reeling in the years

What are these songs about?

Music. Lyrics optional? Or, lyrics a layer in the soundscape. 

Rikki is a about a girl he’s interested that’s not into him. He doesn’t want her to lose his number in case she changes her mind.

Josie is about a party girl who comes home (from prison, reform or Catholic school) and the anticipation of debachery that will follow.

I’ve always thought of Hey Nineteen as an older man dating a 19 yo woman with whom he has nothing in common (and maybe cant be seen together in public?).

Reelin’ in the years is a man getting disillusioned with his GF as their relationship disintegrates and she cheats on him.
