Lyrics

“Who’s at the door now?

Sun goes down, windows wide
One step closer to the other side
I can feel what others do
Can’t stop this if I wanted to

Hey kid, what’s the plan for tomorrow?
Where will I wake up?

Hurry now boy, time won’t wait
The here and the now will separate
There are some things you cannot choose
Soul and spirit moving through

Hey kid, what’s the plan for tomorrow?
Where will I wake up?

Who’s at the door now?
(Wake up)

Two cold stones on a riverbed
Ripped and torn, cannot mend
Old white candles on a dusty porch
One flame down, another born

Hey kid, what’s the plan for tomorrow?
Where will I wake up?

Who’s at the door now?

You showed me how to breathe, but never showed me how to say goodbye
You showed me how to be, but never showed me how to say goodbye
Every page turns, it’s a lesson learned in time
You showed me how to breathe, but never showed me how to say goodbye

Try and make good with the air that’s left
Counting every minute
Living breath by breath

You showed me how to need, but never showed me how to say goodbye
You showed me how to grieve, but never showed me how to say goodbye
Every page turns, it’s a lesson learned in time
You showed me how to need, but never showed me how to say goodbye

Try and make good with the air that’s left
Counting every minute
Living breath by breath

Goodbye.”

The album

The official release about the album, saying: “A brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters endured over the last year, ‘But Here We Are’ is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family. Courageous, damaged and unflinchingly authentic, But Here We Are opens with newly released lead single “Rescued,” the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between.”

“Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, But Here We Are is in nearly equal measure the 11th Foo Fighters album and the first chapter of the band’s new life. Sonically channelling the naiveté of Foo Fighters’ 1995 debut, informed by decades of maturity and depth, But Here We Are is the sound of brothers finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life.”
