WHERE WE ARE Lyrics
Where we are (Where we are)
I don't know where we are (Where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are (Where we are)
I don't know where we are (Where we are)
But it will be okay
[Verse 1]
Laying on a table like I wasn't even there
Holding on a steering wheel and coming up for air
What was that?
Driving in the rain, what was that?
Calling out your name
[Verse 2]
Staring at the ceiling fan, feeling far away
Leaning on the reasons like it wasn't even fair
What was that?
Driving in the rain, what was that?
Calling out your name
[Chorus]
Where we are
I don't know where we are
But it will be okay
Where we are
I don't know where we are
But it will be okay
Crashed the car in Arizona, on the interstate
People pulling over, crying, thinking we were dead
What was that?
Driving in the rain, what was that?
Calling out your name
[Bridge]
I know who you wanted me to be
Always holding up your tragedy
[Chorus]
Where we are
I don't know where we are
But it will be okay
Where we are (Where we are)
I don't know where we are (Where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are (Where we are)
I don't know where we are (Where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are (Where we are)
I don't know where we are (Where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are (Where we are)
I don't know where we are (Where we are)
But it will be okay (Okay)
Where we are (Where we are)
I don't know where we are (Where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are
I don't know where we are
But it will be okay
About
I always thought, because I’m a teenager and I like to read, that this song reminded me of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. Correct me if I’m wrong, but they literally fall into hell together. Know where they are or who they are? Barely. And so it’s inspiring for their journey. Lol, I could be wrong. I’m just a 17-year-old who knows nothing T-T.

Wesley Schultz was inspired by a car accident to write this song, as he explained, while performing at Santa Barbara Brawl on September 22, 2021:
It was about ten years ago, I was driving, it was raining and it was snowing. Just me and my wife, we hydroplaned off the road going 70mph and we flip the car three times. When we realized we were still alive, we get out of the car. These people kept coming up to us, and they were sobbing, they were crying, cause they thought we had died. We didn’t realize what had happened, cause it happened so fast, like, in a blink of an eye. The whole thing reminded me of the last year and a half, this whole idea that we all got in this car accident together, and we’re now all picking up the pieces and doing our best.
