In Or Out
Story Untold Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First time I hear your voice crystal clear through the noise
Instantly connected
And all those summer nights I couldn't sleep
You stayed up lyin' next to me
You said you'd never ever leave, you said you'd never ever leave
You say that nothing's changed, it doesn't feel the same

So are you in or out?
'Cause I don't know what you're thinking 'bout
When you ask me to stay
You tell me you love me but I don't believe it
And if you want someone else
Maybe you just fool yourself
When you try to explain
You tell me you love me but I don't believe it
I know what I said before
I don't care anymore

First time, we ran away holding hands, we escaped
So deeply connected
We'd wish on shooting stars across the sky
You'll hold your breath, I'll hold you tight
I said I'd never ever leave, I said I'd never ever leave
You say that nothing's changed, it doesn't feel the same

So are you in or out?
'Cause I don't know what you're thinking 'bout
When you ask me to stay
You tell me you love me but I don't believe it
And if you want someone else
Maybe you just fool yourself
When you try to explain
You tell me you love me but I don't believe it
I know what I said before
I don't care anymore

It sucks to know what we had was real
And now when we kiss I know that you're gone
And I know that these wounds will never heal
So you can go on and try but I don't care anymore
So you can go on and try but I don't care anymore

You say that nothing's changed, it doesn't feel the same

So are you in or out?
'Cause I don't know what you're thinking 'bout
When you ask me to stay
You tell me you love me but I don't believe it
And if you want someone else
Maybe you just fool yourself
When you try to explain
You tell me you love me but I don't believe it
You tell me you love me but I don't believe it




I know what I said before
I don't care anymore

After years of loving Janick's covers and originals that he put out on YouTube it is amazing to see him in an incredible band like this!

I used to listen to this band when it was still called Amasic because I found Janick's channel with all his amazing covers. I'm so happy for you guys, I hope you'll have a great future. Congrats from Italy!❤

I love this song and this band gave me brave and determination to start playing guitar.

I'm Japanese but I favorite this band and country's culture. Brave, sprint, powerful, will to challenge, and more... Those mind gave me power to live. Thnks!!

I remember watching Janick when it was just him, and then when they became Amasic, and seeing him grow is amazing. I can't wait to see you live at Warp Tour! I love you guys <3
