about

written and recorded at home in our apartment in los angeles during the summer of 2010.

lyrics

you could say that it's meant to be
you could say that it's destiny
either way there's a choice to make
like which me am i gonna be today
you could say that it's not your fault
you could say that it's not in the cards
either way it's a copout plan
when you're laying it down and you're folding your hand

you never look in the trophy case
you never keep goods on display
either way all your modesty shouldn't make you forget what you did achieve
there's so much that you can't control
there's so much that you still don't know
either way there's just one trick
that's stay in the race till the feet don't kick

victory laps and crashes side by side
i'm still learning how to ride my bike

i still remember when i heard you say
that these dreams are miles away
you said it like you'd be along for the ride
somewhere along the way you fell off your bike
the fear of fear is a frightening state
you can't travel where the evil waits
all it takes is one little scrape
or one roll of tape for a memory quake

now i don't wanna let anyone in
cause i know even soul mates find a way to end
all it takes is one little sin
or one little doubt to do the whole thing in
shaky hands and knocking knees
too many candles not enough breeze
either way it never bothered me
does it bother you
the o after the 3

suck it up when the whole thing blows
never walk on your tippy toes
the winter grape is the summer wine
and today's tear, tomorrow's punchline

victory laps and crashes side by side
i'm still learning how to ride my bike

i still remember when i heard you say
that these dreams are miles away
you said it like you'd be along for the ride
somewhere along the way you fell off your bike
