I think Lindsey has placed much more of an emphasis on the value of lyrics as he’s aged. Early on he focused on the overall feel/mood of a song. Some of the wording of his songs was always rather trite or throwaway, to the point he was always clearly the weakest song writer in a lyrical context. But more recently, including on Say You Will and especially on his solo work the lyrics have been a much more valuable and thought through contribution to the overall song.
I think the lyrics to Sad Angel are really terrific.
