[Verse 1]
Wasted, caught up in your rhythm and time
We only said it was physical
So why am I getting lyrical?
Plum crazy, your eyes rolled to the back of your skull
Far too easy to galvanise
The endless nights between your thighs
[Pre-Chorus]
So sentimental
How was I supposed to know
How it feels?
[Chorus]
I'll shout it forever
'Cause baby you don't feel inside
Can you teach me to feel how you feel
[Verse 2]
Confined, caught up in the piss-up that’s your life
I said I wouldn't do this anymore
I don't do this anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
So detrimental
How was I supposed to know
How it feels?
[Chorus/Outro]
I'll shout it forever
And maybe I don't feel inside
Honey, we won't last
This love won't last
Forever
'Cause baby you don't feel inside
Maybe it's why I'm feeling sad

“This song is about the collapse of a relationship and the frustration, confusion and envy that comes along with seeing the other person easily move on whilst you’re still caught up in what was.
– James Vann
The band was asked this question in an interview with Cam replying:
That’s Jimbo’s Dad, Sharky. We like this theme of not us on the cover, but I don’t know its just a cool photo. It was kind of like “Yeah that photo is cool” so we chose it.
