Trying to Find a World That’s Been and Gone: Part 1 Lyrics
If only you and I could try
To turn the page like the winds of change
That come around now and then
The cold against my shoulder
Always seems to be there
D'you think I'll ever learn?
[Chorus]
You give me the will to carry on
In a place where I belong
As we try to find a world that's been and gone
[Chorus]
You give me the will to carry on
In a place where I belong
As we try to find a world that's been and gone
[Outro]
As we try to find a world that's been and gone
As we try to find a world that's been and gone
As we try to find a world that's been and gone

Just, again, in lockdown, wondering what the fuck it was going to be like on the other side of this thing, when we were all allowed to mix together. There were weird days, endless days at home in the silence, homeschooling the kids, the conspiracy theories, and all this bullshit that was going on. [The song] also has a dual meaning because it could be about a loved one or the breakup of a relationship. It’s ‘Pt. 1’ because it had this second part to it where the drums came in and the big production, but I had a moment of clarity in the studio and went back to the original demo. When it was cut down to this two-minute thing, it said more to me.
