lyrics

Burning every bridge you cross
Don't mean you're always going forward
Not knowing where to go
Don't mean there's nothing to move toward

Knowledge without application
Might as well be masturbation
The waters cold at first
But you get used to it off you just jump on in

Wasted youth is what they called it
I got damn good at it too
Live for the minute not the hour
How did I get so subdued

I've been ridiculed by others
Pushed around by some
But the best thing about failure
Is that the best is yet to come

Dust off the dream
You had at seventeen
Before the world tried to tell you no
And maybe when they see
What you can do then they'll believe
And dust off a dream of their own

Burning every bridge you cross
Don't mean you're always going forward
Not knowing where to go
Don't mean there's nothing to move toward

Knowledge without application
Might as well be masturbation
The waters cold at first
But you get used to it off you just jump on in

Dust off the dream
You had at seventeen
Before the world tried to tell you no
And maybe when they see
What you can do then they'll believe
And dust off a dream of their own

The band writes about what they know, and the lyrics are a true variety, ranging from hope (Dust off the Dream) to struggle (Away) to sexual escapades (Breathe Deep.) Last Days Pay refuses to tie their selves down to one particular sound. ... more
