"When we were recording the demo of this song, we didn't have any verses yet, so Leeland was just recording a scratch vocal. And usually when we don't have lyrics yet, he just mumbles random things. Well, literally, in one scratch vocal take, Leeland 'wrote' all the verses of this song. [Laughs] At the end of it, we just kind of looked at him and were like, "Those were actually really good lyrics!"--Jack
"The funniest thing about that for me was the only lyric idea I had going into the scratch vocal was the first line: It feels like your world's crashing down. And when I started singing, these lyrics just kept coming and kept rhyming. (Laughs) I was like, 'Where are these coming from? This is so random, this has never happened to me before.'"
