About Niki FM

"Niki FM" is a song by American rock band Hawthorne Heights. "Niki FM" was released to radio on September 27, 2005 as the second single from their debut studio album, The Silence in Black and White. It peaked at #40 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. A demo version of the track was included in the re-issued version of The Silence in Black and White. According to JT Woodruff, he wrote the song after reading critical reviews about the bands he liked, and fearing that Hawthorne Heights would suffer from the same fate, hence the line, "They're waiting for us to fall". It is also his most personal song, and his favorite track to play live.

Let's go down now
Into the darkness
Of your thoughts
Hurry up now
We're waiting for
Us to fall
I fall to pieces now (I fall to pieces now)
A broken mirror (I fall to pieces)
In your life

The silence in black and white
Falling forward as she walks toward the light

I know!
I'm outside of your window with my radio

I sleep with one eye open so I can
See you breathing (I sleep with one eye open)
I follow your chest bone
Until I, (so I can see you breathing)
I can see you, I can hear you breathe in exhale

The silence in black and white

I know!
I'm outside of your window with my radio
I know!
I'm outside of your window with my radio

Know! Know!

I'm outside of your window
With my radio (wishing you could be there)
I'm outside of your window
With my radio (wishing you could be there)
I'm outside of your window
With my radio (wishing you could be there)

I'm outside of your window with my radio
You are the only station
You play the song I know
You are the song I know
