Take a step back, take a step back It's all big talk until something happens The words mean nothing 'til they're followed by actions Keep your mouth moving but your body still You'll never hit the target if you're shooting empty shells Slow it down now And take a step back, take a step back Hold on tighter We're gonna make this count It's a shot in the dark, against all odds They said we'd never make it this far Well, look at us now We've found our way Life is what you make of it, so maybe your own faults Wonder what we could bend Looking back on all of this, I wanna know I made the best Saving my rest for the grave Pulling out of pockets to show what we got Asleep at the wheel, dreaming and driving Rather hit rock bottom than be stuck second guessing They have the answers but they don't know the questions Come on, let's make something happen We'll make mistakes and not learn our lessons Slow it down now And take a step back, take a step back Hold on tighter We're gonna make this count It's a shot in the dark, against all odds They said we'd never make it this far Well, look at us now We've found our way Life is what you make of it, so maybe your own faults Wonder what we could bend Looking back on all of this, I wanna know I made the best Saving my rest for the grave Hey, hey, slow it down now Hey, hey, slow it down now We've got this under control Hey, hey, slow it down now Hey, hey, slow it down now We've got this under control Slow it down now And take a step back, take a step back Hold on tighter We're gonna make this count It's a shot in the dark, against all odds They said we'd never make it this far Well, look at us now We've found our way Life is what you make of it, so maybe your own faults Wonder what we could bend Looking back on all of this, I wanna know I made the best Saving my rest for the grave

    General Comment:no way, i'm with awesomexplosion. i hear "so many of us wonder what we could have been".

    as in, so many people look back on their lives with regret, but he's going to make the most of his life while he's still young.

    General Comment:No, "bend" makes more sense.
    The songs about *not* wondering what you could have been, so he wouldn't be saying to do that, lol.

    General Comment:Am I the only one in the world who hears "so many of us wonder what we could have been" instead of "so make your faults, wonder what we could bend?" Everywhere I go it says bend, but doesn't "wonder what we could have been" make more sense? I digress.

    It's about doing what you can with the time you have and saving your rest for the grave. Simple as that.

    General Comment:hes saying live life without regrets "So make your faults, wonder what we could bend" and you never know because greatness could come from it "It's a shot in the dark, against all odds. They said we'd never make it this far. Well look at us now, we've found our way"

    yeah its just a bunch of young guys living their lives to the fullest
