Lyrics:
Just before you called
I thought we were doing fine
But I was wrong
Your voice came down the line
Forced me to the thought of life
If you were gone
We’re just tired of talking to the busy sounds
The hardest heart still breaks when it goes without
We’re all the ghosts of who we used to be
We might know, if we could see
Don’t look now ‘cause I can’t escape
I get so restless
We won’t know until it’s too late
But I’ll have years to think of
The way I’d do the things I did
Just to chase the pain away
We’re here now and I can change
But I’m still restless
Push, the urge away
To wake up feeling just the same as yesterday
Time, it heals the pain
But painful is the angry heart when time remains
We’re just tired of walking through the faceless crowd
We keep our lonely eyes locked on the ground
And if my legs could run me into you
Then we might know, we might know

Behind the Song:
'We wanted the first song on the record to have a lot of energy and be automatically
engaging. Throughout the record, we explored using loops in a very organic way, and on
this track it ended up sounding like a Gorillaz record, so we turned it up. The loop is
something that Rick created from the actual drums to add another layer to the song. The
starts and stops in the beat reflect the lyrics, adding to the theme of discomfort and
uncertainty. We also felt like it was a good way to start because it represented a new
direction in our band of trying to diversify the beats and cadence of the songs.' - Needtobreathe
