Noah Kahan is such an amazing lyricist, especially for storytelling.
In "Willing and Able," there are two "childhood lies" which really highlights the differences in perspectives and experiences.
The first lie, Noah's lie, is "that we both had the courage to leave," showing that getting out of their hometown was his priority as a child, and possibly still is/was as an adult.
The second lie, the sibling's lie, is that "we don't care what the other one thinks." In a way, this is more of a lie than the first, because only one of them may have had the courage to leave, but they will always care what their sibling thinks, even when they hate them. It's a totally different perspective as well, because the first is focusing on leaving, separating, but caring has always been about staying.
