Schultz et son comeneur, le batteur Jeremiah Fraites, ont puisé dans les tréfonds d’expériences personnelles sombres. En y ajoutant une dose de fiction tragique, ils ont créé leur œuvre la plus émotive. La plus complète et probablement la plus réussie également.
La voix éraillée et expressive de Wesley Schultz est mise de l’avant comme jamais auparavant. Comme dans Salt and the Sea, où elle se perche là où le chanteur ne l’a pas souvent menée.

[Verse 1]

Could it be I was the one
C
That you held so deep in the night?
Em
On the back staircaseCYou fell to your knees with tears in your eyesAAll that you suffered, all the diseaseCYou couldn't hide it, hide it from me[Verse 2]EmAll alone, scared in your roomCWould you swear there's nobody home?EmOn the bed, laying awakeCAs you prayed he'd leave you aloneA CI'll let the darkness swallow me wholeA CI need to find you, need you to know[Chorus 1]Em C AI'll be your friend in the daylight againEm C AThere we will be, like an old enemyCLike the salt and the sea[Instrumental]Em C[Verse 3]EmAnd they wrote all these prescriptionsCThey wrote me off like a heelEmYeah, the doctors with their medicineCLeft me to rock in my filthA CFrom the destruction, out of the flameA CYou need a villain, give me a name
[Chorus 2]Em C AI'll be your friend in the daylight againEm C AThere we will be, like an old enemyEm C AI'll be your friend in the daylight againEm C AThere we will be, like an old enemyCLike the salt and the seaCLike the salt and the sea[Outro] Em C A C Em C Em
