Tonight, we'll make one more last ditch effort to define everything we are
Same time same place, to see your face when you find just what you left behind
In the name of this petty grudge you wore as proudly as a badge
You turned your back, ever the hack, and your whole life's been a lie
Prechorus:
You can't earn your stripes without ever having to fight
Chorus:
And as time passes by and you count all these ways
you've tried to destroy what you failed to create
and when it's all said and done, you will not hold us back
It's just a matter of time, cuz we know that you'll crack
And we know that you'll crack
The strain was always so much more, than you could ever bare
You'd make excuse, after excuse, yet never willing to own up
To your limitless shortcomings and your inflated ego
You failed this test, "i tried my best" is know excuse for mediocrity
Prechorus/Chorus
You say we burned this bridge while you hold the lit match
Gave it all that you had and couldn't leave a scratch
You couldn't leave a scratch
Chorus

Good Times on the Reg

Time has come for me to stand up and stand out, to get up and get out.
We'll take this time to define each moment
Because this day is ours to take and we're gonna take it back
What we have is ours and ours alone
Either we're too dumb to know when to quit or we've got more fight than we know what to do with
Cuz I'd rather burn it all down to the ground or give it all away
Because I could never live like you I've got to do this my own way
And our constant war of words is never worth the fight
If we aren't having fun then we aren't doing it right.
Either we're too dumb to know when to quit or we've got more fight than we know what to do with

Hit The Ground Running

By way of my own actions this storied life began
As I revolt against everything that I know I am
As I regain my footing, as I get up again, I wonder how long you can burn the candle at both ends
Chorus:
Give me the chance and I'll hit the ground running
On my own two feet
If I wouldn't hold myself back, this life wouldn't get the best of me.
Give me the chance and I'll hit the ground running
And I'll find my own way
If I would just pick myself up, I hope I could make it there some day.
As I keep my eyes open to find some clarity
I find that I am broken and this may have ruined me
All these regrets that I hold are so controlling
But I can't and I won't let this take over me
Chorus:
I'LL FIND MY OWN WAY NOW
I lost my focus, and yes I know this
But I will find my own way
I lost my focus, and yes I know this
But I will find my own way now

And The Crowd Goes Wild

And as I stare in this bathroom mirror
Anxiotiy is getting the better of me
These kids at the show, I won't let them know
I'm three tall boys deep and still scared to death
I can't stop these shakes, there's too much at stake
To let my hesitation cripple me
I can't just try cause it's do or die
Those lights go down and all bets are
All bets are off
This is our chance to get it right, we're learn our place without a fight
With so much left to prove and everything at stake
We'll give it our all for these five minutes of fame
Exceeding expectations makes this all more worth while
Let's make this look easy as the crowd goes wild.
We held it down and knew all along
And all these whiskey fueled sing-alongs
What I have in this is all that I need
(this feeling, it has, it has to last forever)
Last forever
This is our chance to get it right, we're learn our place without a fight
With so much left to prove and everything at stake
We'll give it our all for these five minutes of fame
Exceeding expectations makes this all more worth while
Let's make this look easy as the crowd goes wild.
(this feeling, it has, it has to last forever)
I can't forget what made me who I am at this time
AS I'm nothing without all my efforts and these friends by my side
And with my last breathe I'll give it everything I've got
and this is our chance to get it right, we'll learn our place without a fight
With so much left to prove and everything at stake
We'll give it our all for these five minutes of fame
Exceeding expectations makes this all more worth while
Let's make this look easy as the crowd goes wild.
(as the crowd goes wild)

I told you this til I was blue in the face and I've seen you down this road before
Well not this time
You ought to know satisfaction shouldn't be so elusive
Yet through it all you've shown me that you just can't make the change
Chorus:
Can't bare the weight of what's out of your hands
Can't bare witness to what's never been
You just kill the memory over and again
But in the end living well is the best revenge
Don't fool yourself
This isn't one you've got to fight all by yourself
You know we'll never leave your side
WON'T LEAVE YOUR SIDE
Yesterday's gone 24 hours to go til tomorrow
Wake yourself up don't let these regrets consume your everything
Chorus
What are you made of
Are you more than all these mistakes as you came up
Who are you now
Are you more than all these regrets that are holding you down
Chorus 2x

Another late night, another fight song for who we are and where we came from
And if we're meant to break in the end at least we know now just what we're fighting for
Cuz I can't believe that this is going nowhere and yet I stay this course at breakneck speed
And we'll chalk it up to pure naiveity
We left all logic back in the dust and blew a kiss just for one chance, for just one chance
And I realize how bad this must look as I show my hand and push all in
Unrivaled in my reckless abandon
Because we've all come to know that time has never been on our side
But it's not enough to say "at least we tried"
WE WON'T LET THIS DIE
We may never get this chance again, we've got to take it while we can
And never worry about what's in store yeah
We can learn it all as we go, work our way through what we don't know.
Because missing this boat is what scares me the most.
