lyrics

I get high
from running around the park
making other people laugh
taking beers in the bath

I get low
at the thought of growing old
at thought of being told
I'll die young bitter and cold

I realise that
my dreams might not come true
quite as often as yours do
in this over crowded room
they call music

But thats the way life goes I'm told
They said I'd figure it out when I was older
But so far I know one thing
and thats, I just want to be me

I get high
when I see my girlfriend's face
When we travel to each place
to play music on the stage

But my friends
Fall in and out of me
They have problems with the being
that I am or that I've been

We might not get
To where we want to go
but I'll break my back and bones
For my family and my home
I'll try my best

But thats the way life goes I'm told
They said I'd figure it out when I was older
But so far I know one thing
and thats, I just want to be me

and I might not play reading, I might not play leeds. I might not ever make it to Glastonbury.
And I might not play warped tour, I might not make it, but at least I'll have the memories of the things we did.

and I might not play reading, and I might not play leeds, but at least I'll have the memories of the things we did.

The lyrics are honest and angsty with vivid imagery. Not as polished as their later releases but a killer full-length debut, nonetheless Keenan Kiosis
