"I Don't Wanna Go Home"
Last night, I was thinking about "I Don't Wanna Go Home," specifically a line at the end of the first verse: "You should have stayed on the outside (Lookin' in)." As the parentheses indicate, the "lookin' in" is sung by a different voice. Because there are two different vocal parts here, there's a sense of separation (which the narrator is retrospectively wishing for).

"Breakdown"
Last week, I figured out the chords for "Breakdown." I think they're something like:
|: A major | G major | F major | A major :||: D minor | C major | A major :||: G major | A major :|
And during the guitar solo and the coda:
|: A major | G major | A major :|
Nominally, this is in A major, but aside from A major itself, all of these chords have at least one accidental. To some degree, these accidentals indicate the sentiments in the song: "I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread... Nothing I try to do can work the same way."
