Towards the beginning of 2008, So They Say began reconstructing their line up. On February 14, 2008 the band announced that members Nicholas Walters and Justin Hanson would no longer be pursuing a future with So They Say and two original members Joseph Hamilton and David Schroeder remained.
On April 20, 2008, So They Say announced the addition of three new members to restore So They Say to a 'full band' status. Matt Elliott is now on lead guitar, Patrick Blair is now on bass and background vocals and Jim Koplin is now on drums and sampling.
On April 23, 2008, Hamilton announced in a Myspace blog that So They Say will now be known as The Audio and retain the newly-found band line up. It was also revealed that The Audio would not be on Fearless Record's roster but the label would still hold distribution rights to So They Say's previous releases.
The band has since changed it's name once more to "Me Verse You"

So They Say Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cigarette aside and lie here still
And hold my breath so you won't see
Or ask "where are we now?"
We are exactly nowhere
And it's not about denial
Sharpening my words to make an impactI'm so close now
Waiting for someone, to watch me fall asleep so I can dream tonight
Turn out the light
I'm pulling myself down
I can't stop feeling like happy endings are out of style now
Struggling to bury deep inside
Secrets of my life, the choices I've been left with
Today I'm making up for lost time
You ask "where are we now?"
We are exactly nowhere
And it's not about denial
Waiting for someone, to watch me fall asleep so I can dream tonight
Turn out the light
I'm pulling myself down
I can't stop feeling like happy endings are out of style now
You ask "where are we now?"
We are exactly nowhere
Nowhere
You ask "where are we now?"
We are exactly nowhere
Nowhere
I'm so close now
Waiting for someone, to watch me fall asleep so I can dream tonight
Turn out the light
I'm pulling myself down
I can't stop feeling like happy endings are out of style now
