Lyrics for 7 Years in the Making as interpreted by MashyPoo

7 Years in the Making Lyrics
I wanna go someplace
Where everybody wins
'Cause I've lost all my friends
Since they got brand new eyes
They don't look at me the same
It's anyone's guess where I went wrong
Now I'm the only one
Who's thinking back

Seven years ago
Seven years in the making
But we're always taking for granted
The hands that fed us full
Ten miles left to go
Time is healing nothing
Only a matter of numbers
That won't make us right

But I'm gonna make it through
Hey, hey, hey
I'm just tired
So don't push me
There's more than enough room
For a sad song or two

There was a beginning to the story
But I don't remember, I don't remember
There was a reason
Something we wanted
And I'm not backing down till I get it

Twenty years ago
Twenty years in the making
Well, I know the highway
Better than I know myself
In a few years I hope I settle in to
The big idea that I can't live for anyone else

But I'm gonna make it through
Hey, hey, hey
I'm just tired
So don't push me
There's more than enough room
For a sad song or two

I'm carrying bricks around my neck
I can't keep my head up
I can't see too far ahead
I can't keep my head up
It's like carrying bricks around my neck
To make you remember
It's like digging up the dead
'Cause you won't remember
How we got here
Why we are here?

When you finally decide it's worth the pain
I'm here
I never went anywhere
Growing older, I never thought that I
Would look back and not regret a thing

they should definitely record this song if they didn't already. it makes me cry.

although the 7 and 20 wouldn't be accurate anymore. but we'd still appreciate it.

i know i saw this on LiveJournal too but i can't remember... is this supposed to be on the album?

I'm pretty sure that Hayley said that this song, as it is, is not on the album anymore. They've messed around with it, so who knows what it will be like. Part of it might even have been put into a different song. Who knows.

this song didn't make the record, but she said she used parts of this song to make others on the record.

obviously it's about the band. The title "7 years in the making" refers to the band being...well...a band for 7 years now (it was mentioned in an interview I saw). I kinda think this song is about the band being started for a certain goal or achievement, but it's faded away...kinda like the mainstream life has taken over the band and it's true identity (i.e. being referred to as the "Twilight House Band" and "that mtv band".)...maybe. I don't know, all I know is what the title referred to.

I'm so sad this song won't be on the album. ): I hope at least some parts of it make it on, because the more I read it the more I love the lyrics. I think it's about all the problems the band had from late 2007 to 2008, when they canceled those UK tour shows, and Hayley is trying to remember where everything went wrong and is wishing that they could just remember how and why they started doing this, hoping it'll make it right. It's also about not wanting to give up, even though sometimes she thinks it'd be (as she said herself) "easier if she wasn't making music with these guys" because they're all friends but the pressure always gets to them.

Anyway. I love these lyrics. I hope they record the song in the future... And yes the 7 years and 20 years ago is accurate, because Hayley met Josh and Zac when she was 14 and she was 20 when she wrote the song.

The 7 years is for the band I'd guess...
They've been a kinda band since '02...
Maybe the 20 year part is Haylely's age...

i believe that this song's title was changed to brand new eyes. it's not on the album because hayley said they weren't ready for it to be. the lyrics are sad but at least they fixed their problems while recording bne.
