In Their Words: “This song is about living in the present and chasing the things that invigorate you in life while you can. This record revolves around themes of feeling stuck by life and this song is about not letting life get in the way and just going and doing what your heart tells you to and watching it all fall into place as you go. This is one of the only songs I’ve ever written that really breaks open and gets big, and a little bit rock and roll and we made it that way on purpose. I wanted it to feel like that feeling of really cracking your heart open and letting go of all the things in life that weigh you down and just going for it.
“I had the first verse done for years and could never finish the song, but then one day I sat down during quarantine, and the last 2/3 of the song just sort of poured out of me. It’s interesting, it happened while I was furloughed and sitting in this seemingly stagnant state of being, where the world was entirely at a halt, this song about getting out and going for it just sort came out of me. It’s funny how it works out that way. I hope we captured some of that feeling.” — Cole Scheifele
