Apresentando um som que quebra as fronteiras do rock alternativo e pop-emo, Mae (sigla para Experiência Multissensorial Estética) foi formada no início de 2001 pelo guitarrista Matt Beck, o baterista Jacob Marshall, baixista Mark Padgett, o tecladista Rob Sweitzer e o vocalista Dave Elkins. A banda inicialmente começou como um projeto entre Elkins e Marshall, os estudantes da Universidade Old Dominion, em Norfolk, VA. As sessões de gravação em estúdio foram feitas na casa de Padgett.

[Verse] D "It's magic", she says to me. G My hand to her waist as she approaches sweetly. DBm It's enough when I see that look in her eyes, GA It's enough for me to paralyze.
[Chorus] GA Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown. D/F#G Well nothing feels good being under the gun. BmAD Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.
[Verse] D "It's tragic", she says to me. G A song in the air, we're together floating. DBm What I miss everyday since our goodbye, GA was enough for me to realize.
[Chorus] GA Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown. D/F#G Well nothing feels good being under the gun. Bm Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown. AG Is it ever going to come?

Em So take care what you wish for, for it may come true. A/C#D But that September sky, how it whispered "I love you". ABmGA But I couldn't take it any longer, no I couldn't stand.
Em But the nights brought sparks and the sparks brought flames, A/C#D And you had to be sure this wasn't one of those games. ABmGA But I'm going to show you if you could just give me tonight. G Tonight...
[Verse] D "Its fragile", she says to me. G The hair in her eyes, she removes it smiling. DBm There's a wound that I know this song could mend, GA A step in time for us will never end.
