Rivals - Back To Finish What We Started
All lyrics © 2006 Matt Reed/Rivals


BRICK BY BRICK
Back to finish what we started Build it up brick by brick Never took our eyes off what we saw It’s time, it’s time to finish it More than ever it’s so important never to give up More than ever it’s so important Wake Up We’re not all looking We’re not all searching We’re not all lost in the shuffle More than ever it’s so important never to give up More than ever it’s so important Wake up Wake up and wipe the sleep from your eyes You can’t see through the sleep in your eyes Jaded and cynical Never

BURNING DOWN ONE THOUSAND WORRIES
The lights the lights from dark to light burn out so quickly Burning down one thousand worries Can’t get away from this feeling and old start with a new direction Direction Jump on in The waters murky We gamble with our hearts Gamble with our minds with a hundred to one odds Never knowing when to cut our losses Stuck on some silly idea of what it all could be Never taking action always wait and see Jump on in The water’s murky Jump on in Yeah Surrounded by vigilantes who want to know our true intent Well it’s been coming for some time now It’s always said but never meant Lip service Give me some more Lip service The underlying score Jump on in the water’s murky The water’s murky

THE ENDLESS QUEST TO BE COOL
Let go of who you’re supposed to be Of what you’re supposed to be Not everyone is as cool as you think We’re all afraid the truth will come out No one is as cool as you think You think As you think

A SONG NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR
This is my time To tell my side I was so young when we began Seems I picked a song no one wants to hear ‘Bout a boy and a girl and a plan A plan You’re not a ghost or a whisper Not some distant memory Never a ghost or a whisper Not some faded memory Memories scratched hurried on to paper They seem to last forever But these moments are fleeting And in the back of our minds we reach out to each other For better or worse this is the path we have chosen We are not lost We are not found We do not float on false promise We are rational We are crazy But sometimes being crazy makes us sane It makes us sane

AUSPICIOUS OCCASION
I’d like to welcome everyone to this auspicious occasion We danced around the obvious and wore holes in our shoes A belief is what made us believe we could not agree on one simple thing but I guess plans change Well I guess plans change Been in the dark for so long Forgot how good the sun feels on my face Its’ time to see the other side of things Put myself inside your place And if we can’t agree on a philosophy The music Make it about the music ‘Cuz if we can’t agree on a philosophy The music Make it about the music You stand on your soapbox and you fell right through Looking for a change to come But it never comes from you And if we can’t agree on a philosophy The music Make it about the music ‘Cuz if we can’t agree on a philosophy The music Make it about the music The music
