"Nat and I wrote this song during the last year we lived in Vancouver. I was struggling with deep-seated mental illness and would take the number 9 bus to work every morning filled with all-consuming dread and panic for no reason that was apparent to me at the time. Every moment was a sickening struggle and the only way to prevent myself from smashing my way out of the crowded bus was to create and recite mantras in my head. “I don’t know why I panic, wild is the wind and so is the static” was one that stuck with me.
I think the song represents the feeling of being alone and afraid in ones mind, having a partner to rely on but becoming aware of the fact that that there is more to life than blacking out for the entirety of your work day only to get home and collapse in the arms of the one you love. It's also a love song."

LYRICS:
If you meet someone along the way
know that they might forget your name
know that they might forget your face
and look at you strange as they walk away

If you meet someone along the way
know that they might forget your name
know that they might forget your face
and look at you strange as they walk away

You are the only one
You are the sun

You are the only one
You are the sun

I don't know why I panic
Wild is the wind but so is the static

I don't know why I panic
Wild is the wind but so is the static

You are the only one
You are the sun

You are the only one
You are the sun
