A staple in any pop punk lexicon, this one's about getting out of town forever.
lyrics
You said you had it figured out
You said "it's just a gap year"
You said you had a plan for it all
You said you wanted to save
But I remember the look in your eye
When you'd given up your chance to run
I never said I would wait around for you
That I'd stick around for you forever
While you get your shit together
I never said I would wait around for you
That I'd stick around for you
Why would I?
Why should I?
What was the story of our old friend?
Sometimes I think of how I could've stayed with him
Back in the places we grew up
But adventure was calling my name
My life could never be as tame as everyone I left behind
Struggling could never be as sad as standing still
Stability's out the window
Freedom's calling
I never said I would wait around for you
That I'd stick around for you forever
While you get your shit together
I never said I would wait around for you
That I'd stick around for you
Why would I?
Why should I?
Where were you when I was calling?
Wasn't it you that was falling
Down into the dark?
Did you ever need me at all?
I am the one that got away
I am the one
I am the one who could escape
I am the only one

saw this live when they were performing with Jeff Rosenstock. The Goosebumps from seeing the pure emotion in the finale was so raw and passionate. it made me appreciate being able to attend live music again! vvilko
Front to back, the music is catchy, powerful, rocking, and raw, and go hand-in-hand with Iona's lyrics which could only be described with the same words. Brilliant! tommytulip
