Get the Sheet Music License This Song

This was written at guitarist Ryan Ross' house. It was the last song that the band wrote before they went into the studio. Ross recalled to VH1: "Jon (bassist Jon Walker) and I were playing guitar. Spence (drummer Spencer Smith) just grabbed the lyrics - they were just for whatever, not for anything we were playing. He just came up with a melody for this thing. We ended up writing most of the song that night, at least the basic idea. I think that's the most experimental song on the album because there's no chorus. It's two different songs put together."
