    Does anybody know the time signature for the chorus? it's probably super easy like 4/4 but I just can't wrap my head around.

    The bridge is AWESOME. But I'm not a huge fan of the rest of the song

    Looks like the band read my post from October and built my idea into the bridge.

    The bridge starting with "I gave you the best of me," is such a classic DMB piece of music. Really catchy and feel good. Not a big fan of the chorus of this song, although I like the verse. I've been listening to the Blossom tape and I could listen to the bridge 50 times in a row.

    Fully agreed... this song is so bad, I can barely listen to it.

    I like this song less and less as time goes on...

    Lyrics are just too bad to overlook.

    The bridge is fantastic. I wish the bridge was a song.

    I see that seems to be the general theme of the thread.

    If Only is actually good, IMO. The Hollywood Bowl 2012 pro-shot video on Youtube is a great version.

    Agreed on "MRSA" though. Lol...boring musically and the lyrics are cringeworthy. Rooftop's lyrics are embarrassing as well. The chorus is so bad...
