“Head Rush”, one of ROAM’s first popular songs, talks about heartbreak and loss. First featured on 2013 EP Head Down, a remastered version appeared on 2016’s debut album Backbone. The band elaborated on this choice in an interview with Drop This.

[Verse 1]
I'm tired of compromise
I tried to get through to you, but your walls are too thick
And everything I throw, just comes back again
I tried to talk to myself, but the words don't mean a thing
When my head tells my heart, there's no bargaining
Feels like you're made of stone, and I'm just skin and bone
A live reminder that I wasn't enough for you
I tried to disengage, I tore myself a new page
And told myself that I still wasn't enough for you
[Chorus]
Get some perspective and think before you speak next time
Less overreacting, you were blind
I was fine, I thought you'd see that in time
I was always there and you were always listening
Or so it seemed? Or so it seemed?
[Verse 2]
We've never seen eye to eye
This is a wake-up call, for every single morning
You've had me crawling back
And If I start again I know I'll be much better
But better isn't what I had
[Bridge]
Forgive me for stepping out of my place
You were the only one left with a smile on your face
When I was low and in deep, you found it in me
You found it in me
All I wanted was an honest reaction
Just to get some peace of mind
[Chorus]
Get some perspective and think before you speak next time
Less overreacting, you were blind
I was fine, I thought you'd see that in time
I was always there and you were always listening
Or so it seemed? Or so it seemed?
[Outro]
If I told you what it meant would it make any difference?
If I told you what it meant would it make any difference?
And if I told you what it meant would it make any difference?
And if I told you what it meant would it make any difference?
This was for you
