Running through the field when I see you
In the end, when you're young, you follow
Shadows even though they fade
Baby, you're...
In the end, there was a red light shining
Shining all your love to come
Sometimes I lay in the darkness
Just to see if I can hear the spark
But I never went away, babe
Show me how you do it
I've been looking all night
Go away and back
Show me that you want it
I'm alone in life
All this reading in no light
Once I was alone in a lonesome time
You were livin' in my place
When I took the train up to see you
Everything that I couldn't change
But I never went away, babe
Show me how you do it
I've been looking all night
Go away and back
Show me that you notice
In a long time
All this living in no life
I don't want to live to make you
Show me how you do it
I've been looking all night
I went away and back
Show me that you noticed
In a long time
I ain't giving in
I know my way around it
I've been doing all right
I don't need it back
The War on Drugs is an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formed in 2005. The band consists of Adam Granduciel (vocals, guitar), David Hartley (bass guitar), Robbie Bennett (keyboards), Charlie Hall (drums), Jon Natchez (saxophone, keyboards), Anthony LaMarca (guitar) and Eliza Hardy Jones (percussion, keyboards).
Founded by close collaborators Granduciel and Kurt Vile, the War on Drugs released their debut studio album, Wagonwheel Blues, in 2008. Vile departed shortly after its release to focus on his solo career, with Granduciel serving as the band's sole constant member thereafter.
The band's second studio album Slave Ambient was released in 2011 to favorable reviews and a lengthy tour. The band's third album, Lost in the Dream, was released in 2014 following extensive touring and a period of loneliness and clinical depression for primary songwriter Granduciel. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim and increased exposure.
Previous collaborator Hall joined the band as its full-time drummer during the recording process, with saxophonist Natchez and additional guitarist LaMarca accompanying the band for its world tour. Signing to Atlantic Records, the six-piece band released their fourth album, A Deeper Understanding, in 2017, which won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. The band released their fifth album, I Don't Live Here Anymore, in 2021.
