Let's pull ourselves together Let's tell ourselves we'll be alright We can watch the sun come up Drink to forget tonight You can go if you think you know what's best I've got friends and I'll make it through this Never thinking that the thought would cross my mind I think I'm better than this Losing us gives us nothing left to lose Keep believing Cause I still believe in Something that reminds me of you Whoa oh oh oh Miles from the end Minutes from disaster once again Whoa oh oh oh It can only get better from here Can you hear us shout out All the words to all our favorite songs Not the things we planned out That helps us get along One more won't hurt Empty bottles help to numb this more One more won't hurt Pick my pride up off the floor

Gimme another round Don't make this one my last I wanna see the bottoms of the bottles Wanna make it through one more glass Wanna be buried while I've got some pride left Gotta be more to this than just cheap beer and cigarettes When all you've got is where you come from One more night’s just one more story You can sing along to the words you know by heart And all those words you sing along with Another bar another chorus You just keep trying to make sense of anything at all Honestly I'm only As strong as my worst vice lets me be I'm burning every bridge I can find tonight And I'll be ok I've thought this over It's made me bitter Save your breath You'll need that warmth for the winter I've thought this over And I'll be ok When you call my name and I turn away I'm believing every word I heard you say And everything that you called me And I'll be fine again Cause all wounds heal with time I'm believing every word I heard you say And all the things that you told me And all I want from you Is to know that this is fucking you up too I'm believing every word I heard you say And everything that you told me And all I want from you is to know To know

Misplacing hours losing days along the way It's something I can't put my finger on Left to my own devices Not sure how to be alone these days And every minute that I dream of you Is a minute I wish I were awake There's no place Like home when The only noise is the tires on the road This seems like One of those nights When I’m just trying to forget you Hello highways Help me wash this all away So when I finally leave this town It'll be the last time And when they finally put my bones down in the ground You'll know exactly how I feel about you then And I meant every word I said We keep saying this time will be different Don't know how you're dealing with this But I think I've found my own way I can't seem to pull the bottle from my lips So keep on sounding like a broken record Keep on digging until the holes are all too deep I get a feeling that I can't escape and Suddenly all my words are escaping me
4.
You’re searching for the things That you think that you should know And in the end you find you’ve ended up in just a deeper hole So you sang the same damn songs you know Like how you’ll do just fine And spilling out your fucking guys in basements every night. Through the haze of smoke, a maze of people away like one Through the haze of smoke, a maze of people sway like one And I’ll knock em back till I reach oblivion Spend my nights in sofa city Sweetheart, I’m gone Spend my nights in sofa city Sweetheart I gave away the best years of my best life Belly up at the bar Always looking for a drink to hold me up Hold me up till I’ve had enough But money’s tight and the rent goes up So take this shot and go
5.
I'm holding on to anything I can find nailed down While I'm waiting on this storm to break From here From away I remember you like yesterday And this shit keeps me up all night again Everything I learned in my 20s All made me bitter So I quit being sober cause you know me I'm nothing if I'm not a quitter Somewhere between the sky and the gutter That's the place I'm feeling most like this Somewhere between love and heart attacks The rest is the rest Leave this city behind And I’m alright to drive Sending this out with warm regards I’m thinking of you again Always a friend Just 5 more exits and I'll be home And I'm hoping you'll be there But I know you won’t I'll be trading sleep in for drivers seats Call me when you hit the coast Cause Maine’s not the same when you're states away

about

"A strong melodic percussion that charges right out of the gate, coupled with explosive vocals that meld in well with the indelible instrumentation that is omnipresent at every turn. I absolutely loved their sound right out of the gate..." -Music Box Pete
