Overview

Band commentary

Anna Waronker: This song is about how to deal with conflict when you don’t see eye to eye but can’t escape one another. It’s also about defending someone in the eye of the storm. Recording this song brought us back to some of our experimental moments in the past. We definitely love to play the songs but we really thrive in that extended ending space. Creativity leads the way. No rules. Whatever they are, break them.

Lyrics

I think it's gonna be okay
I think we're gonna find our way home
If we can make it through the day
I know that we'll better off than alone

We've come too far
Just to run
From the hardest parts
Before the damage has been done

So the least I could do
Is keep the peace and see this through
If it makes it easier for you
It's the least I could do

I don't think I appreciate
All the unsolicited advice
Not meant to humiliate
Even though it just might

And so far
All it's done
Is make it a little less hard
And make it a lot less fun

I know we won't walk away
The war we waged is worth the wait
And we won it together
We won't waste what's remaining
And awaiting us
