También han confirmado que lo ha producido Steve Evetts, con quien ya trabajaron en Suburbia, The Greatest Generation, y No Closer To Heaven.

Esta es la letra de la canción:
«You drift in with the wind and use a library computer to check in.
“You can’t sleep at the table, ma’am—you’re scaring the kids.”
The fall’s getting cold. You try to catch salt air in an envelope,
so you can send it home, sit by the bay alone, sun on your skin.
Another day up in flames.
Another cop that knows your name.
These assholes always sound the same.
Madelyn, I don’t think that I’ll see you again.
Madelyn, I love you, but we both know how this ends.
Madelyn, the tide is coming in.
You pull out a cig, imagine the air in your lungs as gasoline.
Light the fucker up—some people get all the luck, but some gotta live.
I can’t find an address; nobody seems to know where you’re living at.
I got you a birthday gift, and I wanna send it with pictures of my kids.
Another day up in flames.
Another year that looks the same.
Madelyn, I don’t think that I’ll see you again.
Madelyn, I love you but we both know how this ends.
Madelyn, I heard that the tide is coming in.
You’re lost in the gray with two broken legs, trying to swim.
Watch the clouds
empty out,
flood the ground.
Try to sleep
in the steam
from the street».
