Lately I get carried away
I've been living too fast
And end up sleeping too late
And patience is wearing off on me
I've been learning to stop
And I've been learning to wait
And maybe I lost who we are
I jumped to the end
When that's not how we left it
And maybe the sound of your heart
Gets stuck in my head
So I can't forget
When it was only us
When it was only us
Waiting for a moment away
They were pulling us under
We got caught in the waves
We won't make it
I still hear what they said
But if we're starting over, I won't listen again
And maybe I lost who we are
I jumped to the end
When that's not how we left it
And maybe the sound of your heart
Gets stuck in my head
So I can't forget
When it was only us
When it was only us
When it was only us
Face it, take it
We can't fake the fall
It's not a race at all
It was a wake up call
And those vacant spaces
It wasn't our fault
We were torn apart
And now we can't let go of
When it was only us
When it was only us
When it was only us

From there, I began writing verses on the piano and when I had some solid ideas down, I brought it back to Ben...
Because this song started with the track, we drew lyrical inspiration from the feeling of the production. The demo name for “Only Us” was actually “Calling”. We even referred to it as “Calling” up until we submitted it to be released. To us, the song is about recalling a time that was simple and pur...
“Only Us” came together so quickly. We had a few other songs lined up to be released but we knew while working on it that we wanted it to come out as soon as possible. As I focused on getting the lyrics and melody together, Ben continued to orchestrate and produce the track. It was one of those song...
