[Verse 1]
Tell me now
Is that the sound
Of all that we were building
Crashin' down
All around us and we never saw it comin'?
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we never make it through
Say that you give another you
Well I won't take it
Or maybe I will
'Cause you never know until you do
If I had to guess, I think it's you
So if I fake it
Would it be true?
[Chorus]
Maybe we've been
A little too caught up
In things that don’t matter
As much as we thought
Maybe we've been
A little too guarded
From things that have hurt us
A bit more than we thought
[Verse 2]
Nothing more
Than love and war
But no onе knows the differencе
All or none
Call to tell me that I'm not the one you wanted
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we never make it through
Say that you give another you
Well I won’t take it
Maybe I will
'Cause you never know until you do
If I had to guess, I think it's you
So if I fake it
Would it be true?
[Chorus]
Maybe we've been
A little too caught up
In things that don’t matter
As much as we thought
Maybe we've been
A little too guarded
From things that have hurt us
A bit more than we thought
[Outro]
Ups and downs
Goin' steady when you're not around
Go figure
Tell me now
Was that the sound of us?
us was written by keshi.
us was produced by keshi.
Somewhere along the way I forgot what it was like to write a song just sitting at the instrument with a pen and paper. I believe it was the first song I wrote at the piano and kept, and it all came out at once in about an hour.
Compromise, self-fulfilling prophecies, battle scars, and a pinch of regret.
I think I made 4 iterations of the song. The original demo was just vocals and piano, and I was pretty insistent on not wanting to rely on production and to let the song carry itself. Something didn’t feel quite right and I pinned it on recording quality, so I figured I’d knock it out in a studio in...
