Composition


The song started out as riff written by rhythm guitarist Eddie Reyes.[4] Vocalist Adam Lazzara wrote the lyrics after he had broken up with a long-time girlfriend; his ex-girlfriend had purchased tickets for the pair to attend a Coldplay concert and, despite the two having broken up, still went to the show together. Lazzara called the car ride a very awkward experience.[5] The song itself is about someone who realizes he understands less about the world than he had originally thought.[6]
