Say that I'm the one who haunts you
When it's you stuck in my head
Just when I thought it was over
There's another round instead
If the grass is always greener
Why am I stuck on the fence
Like I'm buried in a place where
There is nothing making sense
Got a hold on me
Like I couldn't see
It pulling my head beneath the surface
Where I want to be
Where were you when the sky fell down
Where were you when the sun burnt out
Don't try to tell me that you
Know how this one ends
I was there when the bombs came down
I was then and I am still am now
Don't try to tell me that you
Know how this one ends
Say that I'm the one who tried to
Tear you limb from limb
Your the one who set the bombs off
When you gave me up for him
Wasn't meant to be
Wish I could have seen
It pulling my head beneath the surface
Where I want to be
Where were you when the sky fell down
Where were you when the sun burnt out
Don't try to tell me that you
Know how this one ends
I was there when the bombs came down
I was then and I am still am now
Don't try to tell me that you
Know how this one ends
If I could never be
Like the man you wanted me to be
How am I still standing consciously
In the ashes now
It will never be
Like the world you wished it could've been
Cause you just can't stand there consciously
And believe that you could rise up from the ashes now
Where were you when the sky fell down
Where were you when the sun burnt out
Don't try to tell me that you
Know how this one ends
I was there when the bombs came down
I was then and I am still am now
Don't try to tell me that you
Know how this one ends
Where were you when the sky fell down
Where were you when the sun burnt out
Don't try to tell me that you
Know how this one ends
I was there when the bombs came down
I was then and I am still am now
Don't try to tell me that you
Know how this one ends
We Set Signals released Where Were You on Fri Sep 25 2020.
A May 2020 Black of Hearts article quotes vocalist Nick Wilkinson saying:
“Where Were You” is about a relationship turned toxic that I completely lost myself in. After the break up, I had no idea who I was or what I wanted. It took everything in me to just survive and rebuild myself.
