That's pretty cool, but I think you're giving way too much credit. I don't
know if it was Dan or Jeremy that wrote that lyric; it seems like a Jeremy
lyric (from the little I know about the differences between their lyrics). I
doubt a 17/18-yr-old Jeremy (Rodeo Jones is one of their earliest songs)
would've sung something so arcane and literary. A lot of the LP2 lyrics are
awesome, but some are just nonsense that, based on the way they're slurred, I
suspect were improved in a drunken haze. Maybe not as much for Rodeo Jones
though, since it's one of the older songs on that record. All dumb
speculation, I know.

There are a lot of shakespeare characters whose love works out well, it's
just that shakespeare's most famous plays are tragedies (hamlet, romeo &
juliet).
Maybe if the word "err" had ever appeared in any other SDRE song, I'd guess
differently, but my guess is still that it's "air on air." Althought I think
"hair on hair" would be a really cool lyric!
Shakespeare was the first one who said, "To err is human," though.
I always thought "ere" just meant "here."
