about
This song pays homage to what it means to be in a band. The bond formed by playing on stage, completely present and alive in the moment, and the ability to share that feeling of euphoria with others is incomparable. It's a nod to the collective dream of making a living through artistic expression and a mutual refusal to waive the white flag of surrender in the face of overwhelming odds.
lyrics
All our friends have all moved on
But we got this band and we got these songs
And we’ve got this feeling like it’s the last shot we’ll ever take
I hope it’s not too late
Now you can take it, take it, take it, take it all by yourself
Front like you can run it, don’t need anyone else
But a dreamers only dreaming without some help off the shelf
Come on, we can make it together
Cause there’s a fire burning deep down inside
And it’s that fire that keeps us alive
It’s that desire in our hearts that will never surrender
So brother if you’re taking a drive
I got my seat saved on your passenger side
And if we run into some trouble it will be just fine
Cause this band is a bond forever
Now you take it, take it, take it, take it for all that it’s worth
This flame has been burning in our bellies since birth
And if you block up the way, boy you’re bound to get hurt
Come on, we could do so much better
We were kids with a couple of chords
Notebook paper with some words in a drawer
Spilling our guts on the floor:
I want to be remembered
Now we take it, take it, take it leaving nothing behind
We owe it to the moment; this omen’s clear and defined
Together we stand, divided we die
Singing songs off our favorite records
