This track is a different than what we’ve come to expect from Gallant.  Sampling Janet Jackson’s I Get Lonely melody for the chorus, the singer/songwriter departs from his normally down-tempo track style for a more energetic production.  Even his vocals have seemed to step it up a notch as he easily bounces between tenor and falsetto tones.  The lyrics seem to carry a nice message but are a little ambiguous on the meaning, either being about a woman so desperate for love she falls for anyone or someone who gave up on true love for the promise of something that never happened.

Lyrics:
hoping they could treat you better
are you running out of patience?
kissing up to fortune-tellers
have you given up already?

you’re uncertain– flying out of focus

I can hear you talking in your sleep,
waiting for your bus even though you know you’ll end up walking a mile on your own
and you can’t seem to break out of talking in your sleep,
waiting for a love– even though you know you’ll end up walking a mile on your own, you can’t seem to break out of it

lucid dreams and sunken treasure,
lost another one; too many

is the figure getting any closer?
overheard you saying that you’re scared of the silence around you
in the back of the gutter of your mind I can already see it
