“Hard to Believe” describes one’s mindset while in the throes of “being addicted to a bad relationship, and the endless cycle of trying and failing to end one.” The track, featuring a blistering and “insanely catchy” guitar riff—written by drummer Sam Hendricks early in the writing process for Young...
[Verse 1]
I’m kissing everything that moves
I’m kissing anything that takes me far away from you
But I would rather eat than starve
I would rather kiss you hard
It’s not right, it’s not right, it’s not right to even think about
[Chorus]
I find it hard to believe in
I’m wide awake, he’s asleep and
I can’t accept that you’re leavin'
I can’t pretend that I need it
Each night I fall to the feelin'
I pray you don’t really mean it
Bright light, you finally see it
I find it hard to believe in
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I could never get in
And I could never get back
[Verse 2]
I know you like the way it sounds aloud
To profess from the depths of one so complicated mind
Can’t get right
One more last time
Tomorrow is coming, it’s always so ugly
Tomorrow is coming, I know you don’t love me
[Chorus]
I find it hard to believe in
I’m wide awake, he’s asleep and
I can’t accept that you’re leavin'
I can’t pretend that I need it
Each night I fall to the feelin'
I pray you don’t really mean it
Bright light, you finally see it
I find it hard to believe in
[Bridge]
All the proof, fake window to your room
Forfeiting everything that’s left behind of you
Against my will to choose
Your parents' house, I knew it
Give me everything that’s left behind of you
I’m kissing
[Chorus]
I find it hard to believe in
I’m wide awake, he’s asleep and
I can’t accept that you’re leavin'
I can’t pretend that I need it
Each night I fall to the feelin'
I pray you don’t really mean it
Bright light, you finally see it
I find it hard to believe in

I just remember Sam showing us this guitar riff that he had thought of and we used to end every band practice by doing it over and over again because it was so fun to play. It took us way too long to finally turn it into a full son...
