Lyrics for Infinity - Track Commentary
Says to pick the best And you are it Hey All our troubles gone Like when we were young Take me back to where we all began Infinity was a fun one I think we wrote it two years ago and it was, like The dead of winter We wrote it in our living room It was a fun one 'cause it was very collaborative Um, the first thing we- The first thing Adam actually had ideas for the lyrics to do A lot of themes, of, like, childhood Yeah, and, and memory too And I really liked the idea of Infinity Because infinity, as, like, a mathematical concept It's something that's out of reach We can't really grasp what infinity means 'Cause we have nothing to compare it to And with the lyrics of Infinity We wanted to kind of mirror that idea that There are things that are just out of reach like Memories that you can't relive and things in the future And concepts of love that you've lost And love that you might have again Right And our, um Understanding of infinity as humans is just to enjoy it And I think we kinda made a song that felt very enjoyable, very happy Um, very in the moment Yeah 'Cause that's all we can do as humans and as writers Right, you have to embrace what you're giving Yeah, exactly Uh, it was definitely a very collaborative song Between the three of us I actually remember a pretty, uh, funny story about how, the The chorus was actually written Ryan had the beat for the chorus and the, the lyrics And he just couldn't come up with the melody And I remember, I was lounging on the couch one day, like Sleeping or something, and Ryan was really frustrated Because he couldn't come up with the melody And he just rushes over me with the beat on his phone And he's like, "Jack, just sing something, sing something!" Screaming in my ear, and I just went like, "Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da" Just to get Ryan kind of, away from me And that ended up actually being the actual melody of the chorus
