Unwell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All day
Starin' at the ceilin', makin'
Friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearin' voices tellin' me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for somethin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on
Feelin' like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
And I don't know why

[Chorus]
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

[Verse 2]
Me
I'm talkin' to myself in public
And dodgin' glances on the train
And I know
I know they've all been talkin' 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be somethin' wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
With me
Out of all the hours thinkin'
Somehow
I've lost my mind

[Chorus]
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

[Bridge]
I've been talkin' in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're takin' me away

[Chorus]
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

[Outro]
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell

What does Rob thing about the banjo on this song?

It was kind of awesome, because at the time, everything was either Ludacris and Nelly or boy bands. And then we were hanging in there with a song with a banjo in the intro. That felt like a little win for us. When I wrote that song, it was a much faster song. It was Paul who was like, “It’s like tha...

What inspired the lyrics?

We were going into our third record. It came from the idea of still not feeling comfortable in my own skin, and the job sometimes even less so. I was always very comfortable in small groups, and I was always very comfortable on a stage. And then never comfortable in the group. You’d do things where...

Was Rob feeling uneasy about how he was portrayed in the media?

We weren’t that band. We were a band that makes music for people who like the songs we make. We all have strong political opinions, but that’s not our impetus for what we do musically. We have strong opinions about everything. But we write more about the human condition. There’s never been anything...

Why is there banjo on this song?

I bought a six-string banjo. Kyle was playing the guitar, and I was like, “That’s kind of cool. Try it on the banjo.“ There wasn’t any thought behind it.
