Answer Me
Vertical Horizon · Chronicles 92 - 98 [2004]
You don't know how long
But you know you don't like it
Lost in your room
It seems you're feeling tired
You don't know what from
One too many parties
Makeup hides the wounds
Chorus
Answer me
Giving up won't get you out
Can't you hear me
Come and leave this room of doubt
Answer me
It seems you're feeling scared
You don't know how come
Hiding in the shadows
Praying for the sun
Chorus
It seems you're feeling old
You don't know how long
Holding on to memories
Waiting for the song
Chorus
Answer Me
Vertical Horizon's "Answer Me" serves as a poignant centerpiece on the band's 2004 compilation, Chronicles 92 - 98. The track exemplifies the group's signature blend of alternative rock and country influences, characterized by emotive vocals and driving instrumentation that defines their mid-2000s sound. As part of a collection of recordings spanning the early to late 2000s, the song reflects the band's ability to craft anthemic tracks that resonate with listeners seeking both melodic beauty and lyrical depth. Its inclusion alongside other notable works from the era highlights Vertical Horizon's consistent effort to deliver high-quality music that bridges the gap between mainstream rock and acoustic storytelling.
