We knew we'd be "chasing the demo" of this one if we tried to re-record it, so here it is. Justin not to blame for this one.

lyrics

[alternate verse:
in April you were 17
in August, 41
chase the taillights of your bad ideas into the darkness
ask, "what have you done?" ]

put your heart into an envelope
go send it through the mail
the words you used to build your walls and cities out of
were constructed to fail

but I'm not lost
you will find
count the cost
of all the lights behind you
waste my time

write your name out with a sparkler
lose your letters in the flame
know that nothing burns as furious
and blue and hopeless
as a paper airplane

hang the heavy things with fishing line
tie the fragile ones with rope
wash my hands of you
'till the skin cracks and bleeds and grows in
this time I will use soap

cause I'm not lost
you're not kind
count the cost
of all the lights behind you
change your mind

We're excited to see what the future holds. ... more
