lyrics

I know most of you have never been in a band
but I will do my best to help you understand;
It’s like being in a relationship with 3 or 4 or 5 of your best friends.

We combine emotions and turn them into songs,
it’s like a support group – a shoulder to lean on.
A band is pretty much a family, we help each other out when things go wrong.

I thought I’d gotten good at adjusting to change
but I feel sick, I feel conflicted, I’m a one-man debate.
And I’ve had my heart broken in dozens of ways
but I’ve never suffered through a musical heartbreak.

I sit in my room and sing countless melodies,
I don’t chase down my words, I let them come to me,
but lately all that I can think about is how I wish you didn’t have to leave.

I’ve been writing music for about 7 years,
if we hadn’t met I wouldn’t have persevered.
It’s been an honour to create with you, so I thank you with this souvenir.

I thought I’d gotten good at adjusting to change
but I feel sick, I feel conflicted, I’m a one-man debate.
And I’ve had my heart broken in dozens of ways
but I’ve never suffered through a musical heartbreak.

Farewell, my friends,
the creative side of me is in denial,
it wants to write you this song,
it wants to call you at 4AM
to change your mind.

Farewell, my friends,
to the logical side of my brain – this makes sense
‘cause time is a currency and we’re all our of hours to spend.
Time is a currency and we’re all out of hours to spend.
