Phantogram

Answer

From Three2016

Written by Dan Wilson, Josh Carter, Ricky Reed

Lyrics

Answer

And you can't hold me down Because I need an answer Because I need an answer, love And you say way too much But still I need an answer, love But still I need an answer, love

Kindly be kind Wipe all the dirt from my eyes I need an answer I need an answer

Been up until dawn And all of my heroes are gone, babe But I know they're out there They say be with the one that you love Be with the one that you love I need an answer I need an answer

They say be with the one that you love Be with the one that you love I can't make you stop Can't make you stop Can't make you stop when you're already gone

And you can't hold me down Because I need an answer Because I need an answer, love

And you say way too much But I still need an answer, love But I still need an answer, love

Kindly be kind Wipe all the dirt from my eyes I need an answer I need an answer

Phantogram on Dork

CHALK have shared new double single ‘Heaven’ and ‘Hell’ with Phantogram’s Sarah Barthel

The Belfast duo’s latest release arrives with a two-part video and an arena run supporting Fontaines D.C.

Phantogram - Three

Stripping back the influences and coming up with a more coherent sound might have helped.
