Lead singers Jacob Hemphill (vocals, guitar) and Bob Jefferson (bass) met in first grade in Virginia, shortly after Jacob had returned from living in Africa with his family. The two instantly became best friends, and in middle school found a common love for hip hop and rock music. Throughout middle and high school, they met Patrick O’Shea (keyboards), Ryan Berty (drums), and Ken Brownell (percussion) – who would later form SOJA. During this period, reggae music was becoming an addiction for the budding musicians.

G#mA# In two months I'm through the doorway, D#mG#m Put my guitar on the floor, G#mA# And you will sit and tell me, D#mG#m That you can't take anymore, G#mA# And you will sit and wonder, D#mG#m What I can only speculate, G#mA#D#mG#m That time is going to be telling us what we don't want it to say.
B So just be with me now, D#mC#B With your hair wrapped around my fingers, D#mC#B Where your words turn into whispers, D#mC#B (G#m?) Where you fall asleep and dream, dream, B That you could be with me now, D#mC#B As I keep track on my fingers, D#mC#B Of the cities and the strangers, D#mC#B Of the pieces of my dreams.
It's been so long since I've seen you, Almost forgot your face, And time it brings me full close to, But it does the opposite for me. So I've got my hallways and my hotels And a ticket with my name It's been too long since I've seen you And there's so much to say.
But just be with me now, With your hair wrapped around my fingers, Where your words turn into whispers, Where you fall asleep and dream, dream, dream That you can be with me now. As I keep track on my fingers All the cities and the strangers All the pieces of my dreams.
