"Niki FM" is a song by American rock band Hawthorne Heights. It was released in October 2005 as the second single from their debut studio album, The Silence in Black and White. It peaked at #40 on the Billboard Alternative Songs 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.
The music video begins with Woodruff singing the first verse during his graduation speech at "Hawthorne Heights University", whilst noticing another graduate rubbing on a female in the audience. After the graduates traditionally toss their hats into the air, the chorus plays and the scene changes to a graduation party, where the female approaches Woodruff and kisses him. The band is also shown performing in front of a mansion.
Let's go down now
Into the darkness
Of your thoughts
Hurry up now
We're waiting for
Us to fall, fall to pieces now
A broken mirror
In your life
Silence in black and white
Falling forward as she
Walks towards the light
Well, I know
I'm outside of your window with my radio
I sleep with
One eye open so
I can see you breathing
I follow your chest home
Until I
I can see you
I can hear you
Breathe in, exhale
Silence in black and white
Well, I know
I'm outside of your window with my radio
Well, I know
I'm outside of your window with my radio
I'm outside of your window with my radio
I'm outside of your window with my radio
I'm outside of your window with my radio
I'm outside of your window with my radio
You are the only station
You play the song, I know
