Lyrics:
Alone every night,
I don’t feel right.
I can’t decide
what to do. I
try to describe
what I’m feeling inside
but my pen goes dry.
I’m calling it off.
Instead, I get high,
stare in the eyes of
some girl from Prague,
scared and lost,
baring it all and
apparently home on
the screen of my phone.
Now I’m calling it off.
I need a fucking jump, man.
I need something.
I need a fucking jump.
If someone knows something,
then probably they’re lying.
Yeah, or living in a dream.
I’m living in a nightmare.
I could call it a day-
what am I trying to say.
It’s all gray in the gray,
that old fog of the brain.
I go soft in the paint and
stay sopped in the rain but
still could swallow the bay.
Oh I’m calling it off.
Back, trapped in the maze,
that body ablaze,
refracted in pain.
My nowness has waned.
It takes valor to change
out of a pattern of shame,
extract the air from the flame.
Now I’m calling it off.
I need a fucking jump, man.
I need something.
I need a fucking jump.
The thread is fraying.
Who are you,
who are you to me?
If someone knows something,
then probably they’re lying.
Yeah, or living in a dream.
I’m living in a nightmare.

I have been listening to you for 20 years. Greetings from Poland.

[@fkykas]

Hey, neighbour. Same here, from Lithuania.

@@fkykas Greetings neighbor!

[@MrUisle]

Pause everything, new Why? dropped.

[@GumbyJumpOff]

Can we unpause now?

[@DashMajesty]

Watching this as my sockets sit like empty catcher's mitts waiting for more.

[@M311Y]

Nailed the mood of living in an existential hole looking for the light.

[@singthelongswansong]

Awesome

[@Derekzulander]

Ухххх ты старый добрый why? Чистое удовольствие

[@ck12twelve66]

Beautiful stuff. Why?’s catalog needs to be celebrated more among some of the best indie bands.

[@andreiaanderson3394]

My best friend died on Monday. She was an amazing singer. Today was the first day I had the stomach to dig through her music and listen to anything since I found out. It feels sick to know this isn’t a hiatus and there won’t be anymore songs. ¿Why? Still had a new song for me. I needed that fuckin’ jump, man.

Vocals have matured in the best way possible.

[@jenraffiasco3598]

I had a neurological disorder and I often has to walk like u r. Unsure why? Hahha ur and yes and I go thru hell every day alone. Tank u make me feel like I knot a wide walkin tree Ent on my own. Well done.

[@Adamsconcertfootage]

As bad as everything is we’re blessed with new Why? music. This album is gonna get me through the year and then some.

[@VenomFox1-sk5xu]

Wow. What an amazing show last night!! Glad to see you guys. 💪?

[@sorryalligator]

Awoke to this, 30 min after it uploaded, and I’m back in Oakland CA almost 20 years ago. Azulasylum my life

[@Eric-zs9si]

Still hits as hard as it did 20 years ago.

[@knottedthread]

“Alone every night, I don’t feel right. I can’t decide what to do. I try to describe what I’m feeling inside but my pen goes dry oh I’m calling it off. Instead I get high…” Yep, this perfectly describes the past year or so of my life battling depression and anxiety. This song fills me with some sort of motivation to move forward. Thanks for the Jump.

[@OloffMusic]

second listen, absolute classic Why? tune for sure, beautiful

[@jewyjewjew7264]

This song puts everything I feel into perspective for me. I understand the lyrics perfectly and I'm living in a dream I can't wake up from.

[@flowbiscuit]

[@nocturalTragedy]

I was working at the Esquire when this was filmed! So cool to see the finished product

[@andrew1131]

Shout out to Doug for shredding whatever instrument that is

[@OloffMusic]

Awesome, like a mix of old Why? and new Why?

[@crs2crs2]

I was thinking exactly that. Great song, it has that melancholy.

[@CHUNQDOUGLAS]

Seriously incredible I love it

[@Green232323232]

was 2024 the hardest year ever for everyone else, or just me?
