[Repeat: x2]
I, I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
You can always make new friends (oh no)
But it's not always worth as much (oh no)

Now this bridge is ashes
It might as well have never been built
It might as well have never been built
Little river that it crossed
Looks like an ocean now, looks like an ocean now

Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
(love to play the victim)
Your caution to the end
Washed away these few last tears for nothing
(wasn't all for nothing)
Keep it on wax

Your not the only one
Who's making these sacrifices
Who's making these sacrifices
And time won't heal shit
When you got your hands in my pocket
When you got your hands

[Repeat: x2]
Kick, kick, kick
Scream, scream, scream
Won't change a god damn thing (it won't change)
Kick, kick, kick
Scream, scream, scream (a god damn thing)

I, I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap is your friends [3x]

Oh, what a fucking shame
Oh, that you had to mess things up this time

Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
(love to play the victim)
Your caution to the end
Washed away these few last tears for nothing
(wasn't all for nothing)

[Repeat: x2]
It's gone, it's gone
There's nothing left
Keep it on wax

    Song Meaning:I'm confused
    On the 'Live At Bermingham Academy' album, they said Jesse Ingelevecs died in an avalanche and they wrote this song about him. It hardly sounds like a tribute.

    General Comment:Its about the former drummer Jesse Ingelevecs, and how he left the band. So they're just saying that their friendship is done and he pretty much burned the bridges.

    General Comment:i agree that "keep it on wax" would mean to keep your disagreements to the music
    but i think most people can relate to this song anyway
    to me, this song is just about someone betraying their friends and not having a second thought about it, just being selfish and getting what they want because their friends are "cheap" to them.
    also, the part about "now this bridge is ashes..." is conducive to the idea of not having any regrets towards using your friends...
    if the "bridge" was their friendship, it being turned to ashes symbolizes the friendship fading
    and "it might as well have never been built" is like saying the friendship never happened, in other words, the person who threw it away has no regrets and is just going on with their life because they got what they wanted.
    and the "little river that it crossed..." part is like saying how before the "bridge" of their friendship could bridge the gap between any differences they may have had, but now the gap between them is too large ("looks like an ocean now") because the friendship is no longer there to hold them together.
    the restof it is pretty self explanatory i think!
    this is just my opinion though heh.

    General Comment:"I think this song follows a theme to the record about them returning home, and being disgusted. There is a drug problem in St Catherines, ONT and I think the guys are trying to relate this to us. Some of there old friends have abandonded them, and now they are horrified"


    BAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!! a drug problem in st kittz??

    hahha, that actually almost brought a tear to my eye


    and like a few ppl have said, its all about their old drummer.
    look at the line sayin
    "And time won't heal shit
    When you've got your hands in my pockets"
    I think its pretty obvious how jesse's stil got the royalies comin in from the first two albums

    meh, solid tune. spesh considering hastings is soo much better!!!
    jesse can get fucked

    General Comment:just fixing what i said before

    i think this song is about taking your friends for granted and you can treat them like door mats because you know they'll either forgive you over time or they just wont get mad at you, and if they leave you you can always just make new friends

    General Comment:Basically about losing a friendship because of something the friend did, that was not very nice. So relatable..so good..

    General Comment:just elaborating on what ChuckNorrisZombie said above.

    the saying 'keep it on wax' pretty much translates to "I don't like you and you don't like me, but let's not allow whatever disagreements we have to spill out into the real world where one or both of us might get hurt."

    keep it on wax = keep your disagreements strictly in the music
