Discover the story of the song > Underground – City and Colour

The song is about the protagonist realizing that they have been wasting their time running from themselves and their problems. They want to stop running and start living life to the fullest, even if they don't believe in God. They want to focus on love and cherish each day as a gift, rather than just going through the motions until they eventually die. The chorus is a plea to their partner to tell them what they need, because the protagonist is tired of running and doesn't want to keep doing it until they are dead and underground.
