lyrics

It’s that chance you didn’t take
It’s that smile you didn’t fake
That got you stuck here for a while
And it’s that game you didn’t play
It’s those three words you couldn’t say
That got you stuck here for a while

So now you’re looking for meaning
Does anyone else have this feeling?

Wait
Don’t you paint your days so gray
Let the sunlight warm your face real soon
Don’t let that winter gloom come over you

Well it’s that city that took you
Yeah it’s her words that shook you up
And got you stuck here for a while
And it’s that song that I couldn’t write
It’s those three chords I still can’t find
That got me stuck here for a while

So now you’re searching for a sign
Does anyone else feel alive?

The rain
Doesn’t have to wreck your day
So just search for that embrace so tight
It keeps you warm at night

You’re never gonna find the answer
And it won’t make you feel no better
Stop wasting your time
You’re only losing your mind
Stop wasting your time

Now the days and nights go slow without you
I never quite felt whole without you
And I was wrong about a lot of things
Yeah I was wrong about everything

Man in a Crowd New York, New York

We love making music and playing shows. We’re not that fond of writing third-person biographies and comparing our sound to a synthesis of indistinguishable post-genres. We hope our songs will get your feet stomping, your knees knocking, and your heart pounding – because that’s what they do for us. ... more
