Cars crash through the streets
The west end waves break city heats
The east coast storms fill in the sky
Winter weekends
Cold, unbearable
Lifes so terrible
Shots ring out in blind stellar night time
Town lights come alive like a land mine
Eyes wide up in five second intervals
Unpredictable, lifes a miracle

We all are love and love is hard
Were hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
It breaks my heart
We all are love and love is hard
Were hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
So heres my heart

I cant close my eyes
The east end barrels, its summer time
The west coast lives got butterflies
So literal
Cold, unbearable
Life's so terrible
Kids live fearlessly and curious lives
Grow up to be so serious
Lost time, broken dreams
So usual
Unpredictable, life's a miracle

We all are love and love is hard
Were hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
It breaks my heart
We all are love and love is hard
Were hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
So heres my heart

It's only the cycle
It's deafening though
This age old recital is king of all sounds
There is no release, free, we are silently numb
A sole, lonely wave with the weight that's yet to come

    My Interpretation:This song is amazing. My teacher just left, she was a truly amazing teacher, and honestly the best teacher I know I will ever have. I used this at the end of the song I wrote for her goodbye. It's really about high school for me, specifically my teacher and class. "It's lonely this cycle, it's deafening loud," I used to say that high school and knowing and loving people is an endless and lonely cycle in life, but it's deafening with love. "This age old recital is king of all sound," I meant with it happens all them time in life and it will never end. "There is no release, we are silently numb," is how we are as students with our teacher. "A subtle rolling wave with a wake yet to come," is how I described us as students and her as our friend. She was truly our friend and loved one, she will be missed. We love her and this is really her song(well the end).

    Lyric Correction:It's not "The east end barrels, its summer time"





    IT IS "THE EAST UNVEILS IT'S SUMMER TIME"

    General Comment:Agreed, the melody line is too similar to The Adventure, you can pretty much sing them side by side.

    My Interpretation:Some reviews online are knocking this song for "We are are love / love is hard" line. They obviously aren't listening to the other lyrics. This song is amazing. It's about how so many people are down on themselves and are stuck in their "cycle", not living life, which is indeed a miracle.

    I think the last line is "A slow rolling wave with a wake that's yet to come" which makes more sense than "A sole, lonely wave with the weight that's yet to come" but its so close to both of them that I'm not sure.

    One of the best songs on the new album.

    General Comment:We are what we dream and aspire to be. But as we grow it all gets lost in the shuffle, and we become something else entirely.

    It is hard to love and be loved when you are not yourself.

    General Comment:am i the only one who wishes that i could just sit with tom in some
    unknown hole in the wall bar and talk to him about anything and everything?

    or just shrink and go into his head to see how all of this crazyness works?
