about

I wrote this song after listening to a lot of We are the Union in early 2008. You probably heard it on other demo EP's and stuff and here is a better sounding version, I hope...

lyrics

We drove two hundred miles

To play to fifteen kids

Who didn't appreciate the sound
(play hardcore!)
Our heads were pointed to the ground

Got promised some money

But the show we played was free

Kids started to leave.

And my fingers start to bleed

We'll never be on Fuse TV

We'll never be on the cover of AP Magazine

So what?

I guess we're taking a chance.

And I guess I'm bold.

Because I'm gonna teach this dance.

I'll leave it

all behind

The promises and memories

the thoughts of another time and

I'll make it

Even on my own

You said to me I'd never change

But on the road

I'll never be alone

We drove three hundred miles

To play to 200 kids

Who wanted just to hear more
(play an encore!)
My back is feeling kind of sore

Someone took all the money

that I think we'll never see

Then Clint quit the band

And all the blame comes back to me


We'll never be on MTV

We'll never be on the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine

So what?

I guess we're taking a chance.

And I guess I'm bold.

Because I'm gonna teach this dance.

I'll leave it

all behind

The promises and memories

the thoughts of another time and

I'll make it

Even on my own

You said to me I'd never change

But on the road

I'll never be alone

Never be alone!

Twenty Minutes in

I broke another string

What am I doing here?

I can't even sing

I can't stop this rushing sensation

Stop dreaming start living your real life now.

Fuck.
