Lyrics:
No, it's not what we meant to say
We don't really love each other
What happens when the summer's over?
How long before distance becomes a chore?
I'm approaching with great trepidation
I hope you'll understand
Before you speak, think about what you're trying to say
Who else is there to blame for miscommunication?
You're getting caught up in the excitement
You're making promises you can't keep
You need to leave all your options open
Too much momentum, this room feels like it's going to explode
Too many angles, too many factors to cover
Waiting for signal, you're searching for a network
You have to fight to stay in control of the situation
Anxiety, anxiety, you give me no mercy
Grind my teeth smooth and flat in my sleep
We took some pills to calm us down
We needed help to come back up
Just trying to stay in control of the situation
Too much momentum, this room feels like it's going to explode
Too many angles, too many factors to cover
Waiting for signal, you're searching for a network
You have to fight to stay in control of the situation
And they fall apart so easily
Too much momentum, this room feels like it's going to explode
Too many angles, too many factors to cover
Waiting for signal, you're searching for a network
You have to fight to stay in control
You have to fight to stay in control
No, you don't have to fight to stay in control of the situation

Trivia and Quotes:
“When we were on Warped Tour this past summer, I forget where it was, it might have been the Vancouver show; but she was out at the show and Much Music had her interview us on TV. During the interview she was just joking around, she was like “need anyone to do backing vocals on your next record, give me a call!” The song that she sings on is the last song I wrote for the record. I kept that in mind when she said that and I really like her voice, I’m a really big fan of Tegan and Sara. So I just had this idea for a song that was like a duet and I just kind of wrote it with her voice in mind, thinking how her voice would work. It’s kind of like a duet between me and her and I wrote it specifically for her. When I wrote it, I phoned her up and I was like “hey, I wrote this song, I’ll send you the demo version and the lyrics. Hopefully you’ll like it and you’re in to doing it.” She liked it so she came out.” - Laura Jane Grace in 2008
