Story behind the song
BEN: This was a nice experiment, I think. When we were recording our long player "Radio" we had an idea that it would be cool for Russ and I to each write and play an acoustic song to bookend the record. So I was trying to figure out how to mic the acoustics for good sound and I took one of the songs that we had originally written as an electric song and played it acoustically. I was pleased with the results so I added a lite electric guitar part, basic bass part to it and played it for Taylor. He too liked it and decided to lay down a drum beat for it before he left a semester at Spain. I played it for Russ and he dug what he heard and I told him to do with it what he wanted. A few weeks later he played me a mastered version of what he did. And it was mega. Seriously mega. In my opinion, his keyboard and piano parts make the song good. He did a fantastic job. Lyrically, well, this is one of those unrequited love songs. I tried really hard to not write one, but when I wrote the electric version of the song that's how I was feeling. I really enjoy the chorus, and think the verses are just fine. I don't think that it's my finest song, lyrically, but I was 23 and stand by it. RUSS: This song, originally, was completely arranged and recorded by Ben and Taylor. However, after I heard it Ben offered me the chance to do whatever the hell I wanted to with it. The result of which was all the piano and electronic crazy-ness which is now mixed into it. I think the song was strong in it's original "stripped-down" version, but definitely think it has an interesting dynamic with the additional parts. In any case, I think in it's final form it is a good blend of acoustic instruments versus manipulated instruments.
Lyrics
I lost myself again On the way back home and then I tired to call and I couldn't get an answer So could we maybe talk about All the things I feel about You and predict and outcome because... I found my heart again Beating inside to no end I scribbled down non sensical feelings There's no way to just move on It's like I'm fifteen again I look your gone When what I wanted to say is that... CHORUS There's a thousand things I wish I said I love you need you but instead I just mumbled over everything Grown tired of this routine How long I've spent in between When what I wanted to say is lost over the airwaves Ben: Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Bass, Vocals/// Russ: Piano, Keyboards, Atmosphere/// Taylor: Drums
