In the Track by Track review of the album for Consequence, co-founder Josh Burgess reveals:
A total montage of a couple years of addition and subtraction. It was sort of the backbone of working on this record, as we felt it captured something we wanted out of us early on. Beautiful dark cello from...
[Verse 1]
Take the bad advice
Remove all of the things we wanted
So you don't even have the context
And no (I fear we mighta moved too quick)
Not gonna lie (I fear we mighta moved too quick)
But you paid us off to feel more blindly
Now it's easier to take it lightly
[Chorus]
I didn't have time to shake it
The thought in my head
I wasn't of mind to wait here
So I never have
And if I had the heart for chasing
My roads to the end
I'd maybe find I'm mistaken
And run them again
[Verse 2]
Not gonna last
You say it's not a case of truth
Evеry minute more confused
Go (I fеar we mighta moved too quick)
I'm turning off (I fear we mighta moved too quick)
Configuring a book of lies
Change your mind, it's no surprise
[Chorus]
I didn't have time to shake it
The thought in my head
I wasn't of mind to wait here
So I never have
And if I had the heart for chasing
My roads to the end
I'd maybe find I'm mistaken
And run them again
[Bridge]
No, not just another face
Want you to say my name, babe
Don't wanna take the bait
Now it's just another game
Where you don't feel the same way
In just another phase
[Chorus]
I didn't have time to shake it
The thought in my head
I wasn't of mind to wait here
So I never have
And if I had the heart for chasing
My roads to the end
I'd maybe find I'm mistaken
And run them again
