Songfacts®:

  • This is a track from North Carolina seven piece Paper Tongues' debut EP Ride To California. Keyboardist Cody Blackler recalled to Artist Direct: "I remember being in the studio in LA when that song evolved. It actually came out of this love song that Aswan (North, vocals) had written, probably five years ago. He wrote it on an acoustic guitar. We were sitting around listening to him play. We heard the hooks in it and melodies. We just started to piece it together, and it turned into this really catchy song that tells a bunch of different stories. We've heard so many different interpretations of what it might mean when people call in. That's the beauty of it. People can hear it and associate it with whatever they're going through, whether it's a relationship, life or tough times. I think it's cool when you have a song that's relatable to so many different situations and people."
