This song is definitely my personal favorite on this record, though it's definitely a little melancholic and came from a pretty dark place. It was inspired by endings. That period where you know something that you poured your heart and soul into just isn't going to go on forever like you'd foolishly hoped. The point where you see that an end is in sight. The point where you finally start to see the cracks... the ones that you refused to notice until it became impossible not to. The point where you realize everyone already knew they were there. The moment of denial before acceptance.

Space and I weren't really getting along that well at the time (which isn't the best for any band, but especially not a duo), a romantic relationship I was in wasn't working out very well either, so I was in a pretty vulnerable state. The two places I went to for any sort of stability were shaky, and I was floundering and reaching for any little thing I could. That's what birthed this song. It was a cry to those around, asking if we could just pretend that nothing was wrong.

The lyrics for this one just poured out of me, like my subconscious was trying to get me to see what was really going on.

Anyway, I'm a sucker for a sad song to sing and cry along to when I'm feeling it. I admit to throwing on some of those epic ballads and caterwauling 'I can't make you love me if you won't', with tears streaming down my face... it's cathartic. This is one contribution to that collection of songs for those moments.

As for the sonic element of it, though Space and I don't always see eye to eye on a lot of things, we do find common ground when it comes to dreamy synths, dark tones, and unexpected optimism through a major lift or two.

We hope you like the record.
