The band released its self-titled debut album on October 29, 2002. The album included several collaborations with Michelle Branch, who promoted it on MTV's Total Request Live. After their first music video was shown on the network, Wal-Mart agreed to sponsor a short tour to further promote the album. The band played several solo shows, and also opened for Nick Carter on his Backstreet Boy tour. Billboard Magazine writer David Menconi called justincase "an act to watch," and guitar-maker Ibanez published a series of ads featuring the band.
Despite heavy promotion, though, the album lagged commercially. Lackluster sales numbers caused Maverick to drop the band, and they have been unable to secure another recording contract. The band is on a self-described "indefinite hiatus" while its members attend college and play the occasional local show. Lead singer Justin Tosco is also performing with Policy, another local band.

Justincase Lyrics

Still I don't need your sympathy
So all I've got I give to you
And all I need, all I need is you
I want to be the only good in your morning
The tight in your sleep
I want to be the only good in your night
And when you sneeze I want to be the bless in you
An? I don't want to be the good in this bye
I might not buy you a diamond ring
Still I don't need your sympathy
So all I've got I give to you
And all I need, all I need is you
I swear to God those sleepless nights broke me down
The tears I cried for you ?cuz you're not around
The night is lonely and the time is slow
Without your hair between my fingers
Well, where did you go, where did we go
I might not buy you a diamond ring
Still I don't need your sympathy
So all I've got I give to you
And all I need, all I need is you
I saw a figure in my bed last night
One not of evil but your face in my sight
Well, I can't help but be obsessed with you
I can't help but be consumed by you
I can't help but be possessed by you in me, in me
I might not buy you a diamond ring
Still I don't need your sympathy
So all I've got I give to you
And all I need, all I need is you
I might not buy you a diamond ring
Still I don't need your sympathy
So all I've got I give to you
And all I need, all I need is you
The lyrics of Justincase's song "Sleepless Nights" capture the raw emotions of heartbreak and the longing for a lost love. The songwriter admits that he may not have the means to shower his lover with expensive gifts, but he offers what he can - his unconditional love and devotion. He wants to be the one to bring joy to her mornings and the comfort in her nights. He yearns for her companionship and cannot help but obsess over her. He reminisces about the times they spent together and ponders where things went wrong. The songwriter's vulnerability and honesty in his words create an emotional connection with listeners who have experienced similar heartbreak.
The lyrics are simple yet poignant and are complemented by a mellow acoustic guitar melody. The chorus of "So all I've got I give to you, and all I need, all I need is you" reinforces the message of the song - that love is not about material possessions but about being present for and with your partner.

I might not buy you a diamond ring
I may not be able to afford luxurious gifts for you
Still I don't need your sympathy
Nevertheless, I don't want your pity or compassion
So all I've got I give to you
The only thing of value I possess, I'll give to you
And all I need, all I need is you
All I require is your presence and love
I want to be the only good in your morning
I aspire to be the source of your happiness every morning
The tight in your sleep
I want to be the one who holds you tight when you're asleep
I want to be the only good in your night
I hope to be the only thing that brings you joy at night
The only one to see you weep
I desire to be the only one who witnesses your sadness
And when you sneeze I want to be the bless in you
Even when you're not feeling well, I want to make things better for you
An? I don't want to be the good in this bye
But I don't want to be the source of our separation
I swear to God those sleepless nights broke me down
The nights spent without you left me feeling shattered
The tears I cried for you ?cuz you're not around
I shed tears for you because I miss you when you're not with me
The night is lonely and the time is slow
Without you, the night feels empty and time seems to pass by slowly
Without your hair between my fingers
I miss the feeling of having your hair in between my fingers
Well, where did you go, where did we go
Where did you disappear to? Where did our relationship go wrong?
I saw a figure in my bed last night
Last night, I saw a silhouette lying in my bed
One not of evil but your face in my sight
It wasn't a scary figure, it was just a vision of your face
Well, I can't help but be obsessed with you
I can't resist thinking about you all the time
I can't help but be consumed by you
My thoughts and emotions are overwhelmed by you
I can't help but be possessed by you in me, in me
I can't shake off your influence on me, it's deeply rooted within me
