Leave home today.
escape your region.
it's in your head, keep moving on.
become your dad.
live unquestioned.
it's in your head, nostalgia is death.
choose starlight.
no way to retrace.

it is gone.
choose star bright.
no way to retrace.
it is gone.
no way to retrace all your good days add them up.
it is gone.
none of you knew any more then. leave it here.
it is gone.

can't depend on honest answers from dependent hands.
won't accept an honest answer from an open hand.
say the words and i sign off.
starlight star bright.

    General Comment:Whenever you listen to JEW you get this undescribable feeling running through your veins. The perfect balance of rock and emo, the incredible harmonies, the stunning lyrics. They truly rock

    General Comment:Call it in the air, and most of Static Prevails all seem to encompass all the different stages of going away to college/ leaving home. Call it in the air is just an assertion for whoever Jim is speaking to begin the rest of his life and stop sitting around reminiscing about the past. As far as the title, "call it in the air" could be reference to a coinflip. For instance before football games, the captains are asked to "call it in the air" to see who gets the ball first. (This doesn't just have to apply to football) Anyway, calling it in the air is making a quick decision that will affect you greatly in the future...

    General Comment:I agree with the comment before. I can't stand the middle. And I also hate the fact that now everyone is listening to the music now. JEW all about not just going for something because its popular and now they've become popular. Nobody even realizes that a lot of the songs are saying, do what you want, listen to what you like, etc. Anyway, as far as this song, I love the way it says that when you can't go back. It really hits because recently I've begun to realize that. Also, I think its implying that we shouldnt leave anything behind or regret anything. Maybe I'm way off...

    General Comment:I know this is off subject, but this is in reply to the last post. I agree, the middle is an awful song. I find it wierd that it took one whole year since the release of Bleed American until it got popular. I also find it ironic that it's popular when I think the lyrics blame the popular crowd for making people try to conform, but yet the popular crowd likes it. Anyone agree with that?
