carving-backbone: “When Sara’s singing about laying in bed with a pile of books between her and her girlfriend, that hurts.  Whereas I’m like, ‘Screw you.’  I’ve got all the teenagers in the audience, with songs like ‘Nineteen,’ ‘Hop A Plane,’ ‘Speak Slow.’  But, ‘Floor Plan’ comes on, and Sara’s singing about wanting her partner’s lungs to stop working without her, and that’s where the depth in our music is really at.  I think that balance in our songwriting is what distinguishes us.” - Tegan This.  This quote.  It’s what I think of every time I hear Floor Plan and most of The Con.  In addition to the other quotes from songs of that album; I can hardly bear the meaning behind every Sara song there was.
