about

We wrote this song in 2007; it was the first song we finished for the record that eventually became "The Big Picture." It was recorded three different times before finding its way onto the record.

The lyrics were written at Neal's old apartment. Lee was there, though he had yet to join the band.

lyrics

Hey, kid, whatcha looking so sad for?
There's whole wide world waiting out your front door
Everybody's leaving, so get your ass off the floor
Everyone knows it, so take a look around.

You can never sort it out
when you're staring out your window.
It will only bring you down
if you think that only you know.
You will never find your way,
a constant battle everyday,
and you know.

Hey, kid, dontcha wonder where those years went?
Already 20, wasting all your time spent
looking for the answers. but you don't know what they all meant.
Everyone knows it, so turn your life around.
