Cameron: While I was in high school I was with a girl that had suicidal thoughts. This song centers around my struggle to help her realize there was more to life and that she had so much to live for. The hardest part was at this point in my life I was struggling with the same thought. The thought of suicide is one thing that really gets me emotional. Being someone that has considered taking his own life and dealing with too many close friends and people in my life that have considered the notion/succeeded, I cannot stress how valuable a person's life is. It took me a long time to understand it, but we all have so much to live for and so much potential that even in the worst of times, when you feel worthless, defeated, ruined, just try and keep your head up because things CAN and WILL get better. The lyric "It's not that I want to die, I just want to disappear," is something that I feel suits the way we all feel sometimes. When someone commits suicide, no matter how alone they think they are, it will make waves in an entire group of people, changing them forever. It's better to think about wanting to disappear for a moment and snapping back to reality than taking it away for ever. I cannot thank Becca from Cerce enough for singing this song with me, I really think she echoed the way I was feeling.

Raphael: We have a bad habit of nicknaming our songs of bands that we drew influence from when writing them. This song was nicknamed "On The Might of Princes song" or, for short, "OTMOP song." I really started to get into their album Where You Are And Where You Want To Be when we were writing songs for this album and I wanted to have a song more along the veins of their work, without ripping them off. I don't think I ripped them off, mainly because I'm not nearly as talented as they were and actually can't write or play like that, but I definitely did what I wanted to do with this song. The title comes from a short story I wrote last summer. The day after the school year ended, I drove down to Connecticut for my cousin Emily's first communion and my girlfriend at the time (same girl who inspired many lines in "The Graduate", "Winter 11", and "City Orchards") broke up with me via text. So, as lame as it is, this is indeed a song about a girl. However, instead of being a "I miss you" type of song, this song deals more with the fact that I now have moved on but, on rare occasion, still entertain the idea of, "What If?" The lyrics at the end, "I am so scared by the things I cannot see. Like the simple idea I don’t keep you up at night with a smile tickling of your mouth" are actually a poem I wrote a long time ago that I rather like. I would often think these thoughts when I still had feelings for this person. But hey, now it feels like just another dream.
