My friend asked if it was a bad time to talk, and I said no \u2014 I really wanted to speak with her,&#8221;<\/em> explained\u00a0<strong>Alkaline Trio<\/strong> vocalist\/guitarist\u00a0Matt Skiba. <em>&#8220;It was actually a terrible and terrifying time, but it was never a bad time to hear her voice. The second verse goes back to a time in Chicago when my roommate Bobby and I were almost killed in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting \u2014 high as kites on mushrooms.
