'Said' is about the harsh reality of realizing that someone you thought you knew, isn't who you assumed them to be. It's about how we can often be blind to the red flags that are so blatantly obvious to everyone else and how, in some relationships, we can gradually change into someone we're not. When it ends, we're left wondering if any of it was even real.

you should know that i’m
pretty scarred but i,
carry on, i carry on… oh

in 40 nights i ain’t
slept alone but i
fell in love and did it wrong

we should honest
we should be ruthless
people ain’t flawless
neither are you

something i don’t know
unclear what i wanted 
ya told me i’d wreck this
maybe it’s true

Mmm, mmm drink it up baby
i’m the kinda lady
kiss you good night when
when the morning comes, morning comes

Drink enough baby 
i’m the kinda lady
Kiss you goodbye
when the morning comes, morning comes

ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba
morning comes, morning comes

ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba
morning comes, morning comes

we only get so many chances
at leaving our heart out defenseless
before they’re gone, before they’re gone

i’m tired of going where the wind blows
i wish it were different, it ain’t though
i fell in love in love and did it wrong

 Mmm, mmm drink it up baby
been kinda numb lately
it’s always goodbye
when the morning comes, morning comes

Drink enough baby 
and when you go, wake me
i’ll Kiss you goodbye
when the morning comes, morning comes

i feel like the truth is you won’t be you
just somebody lying with somebody new
i know in your soul you can sense it too
it’s the final hour

…drink it up baby
even if it’s crazy
i’ll kiss you good night
when the morning comes

'Running'

I’m my own companion
An island in the sea
Like a wheel I’m rolling on
I’m all I’ll ever need

No one, no one, will make me break the promises I’ve made
No one, no one, can help me find the path along the way

But there’s an ease in my distraction
Call my name and I’ll come running
I’ll forget myself in everything you do
‘Cause there’s an ease in my distraction
Call my name and I’ll come running to you

I’m a wild adventurer
A feather in the wind
But if the storm comes close enough
I’ll wind up floating in (floating in)

‘Cause there’s an ease in my distraction
Call my name and I’ll come running
I’ll forget myself in everything you do
‘Cause there’s an ease in my distraction
Call my name and I’ll come running to you
Come running to you girl

Don’t you ever really wonder
If we really know ourselves?
Don’t you ever really wonder
Who’s really in control?
If two halves make a whole?
Or are we better on our own?

‘Cause there’s an ease in my distraction
Call my name and I’ll come running
I’ll forget myself in everything you do
‘Cause there’s an ease in my distraction
Call my name and I’ll come running to you darling
Come running to you

Call my name and I’ll come running to you

'Talk to Me'

And I’ve been waiting by the phone
‘Cause I know that when you call 
I’ll get you alone
I’ll get you alone

And you’ll be safer in this place 
And I can’t wait to share my name
And give all of my soul to you 
Together growing old with you

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
‘Cause darling when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

And now I’m trying to hold my breath
With my arm behind your head
Darling I’m in ecstasy
When you’re sleeping next to me

And I’m scared to wake you up
‘Cause the way you look’s enough
To ask if you will marry me
Darling will you marry me

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
‘Cause darling when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

Like the river feeds the sea
Know that you, are all that I will need

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
Say my name ‘cause when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy

‘Cause I feel loved
Come on baby bring me up
‘Cause when you talk to me
Darling I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

I feel loved

'Cold'

Broken skies on the horizon, 
give me fever, tear me up. 
There’s a calm before the thunder. 
Never sure of, what’s to come.

So hold my soul ‘til the morning. 
Love me to the bone. 
Heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold.

Every day the sun is rising, 
is it too good to be true? 
You’ve got me caught in a twist in my head. 
Overthinking the things that you’ve said. 
Make me dream that I drive you away all alone. 
Everything I invent in my head, 
sabotaging the time that we spent. 
And now I need to know.

Just tell me that you’ll, 
hold my soul ‘til the morning. 
Love me to the bone. 
Heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold. 
Say you love me. Say you feel it. 
Say you’re never turning cold. 
Cos heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold.

I’ve been spinning out of place, 
but it’s an illusion I know. 
Maybe it’s a test of faith, 
to leave me feeling cold.

Hold my soul ‘til the morning. 
Love me to the bone. 
Heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold. 
Say you love me. Say you feel it. 
Say you’re never turning cold. 
Cos heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold.

We went into a gorgeous studio in North Carolina (bunker sound studios)to mess around and see what came from it. We found a beautiful 70's Fender Rhodes, and along with the Roland Juno-106 we had brought (we always have one with us), this stripped down version of Mean Somethin' just happened in a single take. We really love how this raw version highlights the emotion of the song. It is performed much slower than the album cut, and the meaning almost shifts from the playful and lighthearted vibe from the original take, to a much more serious, deep emotional plea. It's wild to us that the same chords and the same lyrics could make us feel such different thoughts and emotions, all just with a shift in instrumentation and pace.

'Hollow'

It’s not right, but it’s okay, I can’t feel it anyway.
Turn the knife, dig it in, in the end it’s only skin.

I’m a mess, shaking wreck, scared to speak I’m so on edge.
You must be crazy, to think that we can call this love.

You cut the air I need to breathe,
and all that’s left is a hollow version of me, version of me.

I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I’ve taken all that I can take. I knew I’d break eventually.
And if you think I’m coming back, I don’t really think that I’m down for that cos
I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this.

Broken stone, on my chest, rolled it off and took a breath.
You went crazy, but I was never good enough.

You cut the air I need to breathe,
but now I’ve shed this hollow version of me, version of me.

I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I’ve taken all that I can take. I knew I’d break eventually.
And if you think I’m coming back, I don’t really think that I’m down for that cos
I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.

I feel like I’m awake,
I feel like I am waking up, waking up.

I feel like I’m awake,
I feel like I am waking up.

It’s not right, but it’s okay, I can’t feel it anyway,
You must be crazy. You must be crazy so,

I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I’ve taken all that I can take, I knew I’d break eventually.
And if you think I’m coming back, I don’t really think that I’m down for that,
cos I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this.

SWIM

Deep blue and golden.
Bubbles on the sand where the tide has run away.
First light of morning, 
journey to the coast and your mine down by the waves.
Head on my shoulder now, I feel your breath on my skin, pull you close in the wind.
I’d give my soul just to keep you warm.

Love, give me love, give me love. Dig your toes in the sand.
Give me love, give me love. Take a hold of my hand.
Give me love, give love. We’re tumbling in.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean,
with you, with you.

We’re treading water.
Sun is beating down as we’re floating by the shore.
A short adventure, perfect weather, going for a swim.
Hands on my shoulders now, got my head in the clouds and I don’t wanna come down.
I’d give my soul just to keep you warm.

Love, give me love, give me love. Dig your toes in the sand.
Give me love, give me love. Take a hold of my hand.
Give me love, give love. We’re tumbling in.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean,
with you, with you, with you. 
 
Maybe we could stay.
Joining up the stars to spell you name.
And I don’t know ‘bout you,
but maybe we could stay a while.
Sleep beside the rolling of the waves.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean.
with you, with you.
