about

This song was recorded during the sessions for "The Beeping in Our Hearts" We weren't too sure about the song going in and decided we would record it and probably use it as a B-side later.

One of the things that isn't really known about recording vocals for that album is that I had a pretty bad cold the entire time. You can really tell at the beginning of this one, and I'm not sure why we never went back and fixed it!

Other than that, I think it didn't turn out so bad!

- Matt M.

lyrics

We walk a line that is awfully hard to see.
And we often stray from the path that we most need.
So, why do we try to walk despite our motivation?

We've got a thousand reasons counting
And we've got a hundred years for living
We've got a decade for decisions
But after everything we only have one thing

I will decide the direction and the distance
And I will try to gap the distance closer still
And we will be what we've already decided

When we've got a million years and counting
And we've spent eternity in dreams
The point of the universe exploding
After everything we only have one thing.

We only have one thing.
