    Good call on this song, it deserves the appreciation! I think its one of those songs that really distinguishes the album from anything else they've done for sure.

    up!
    What are you running from?
    Taking pills to get along
    Creating walls to call your own
    So no one catches you?
    Drifting off and doing all the things...
    That we... all... do

    love it - has become my favorite summer road trip song - reminds me of driving to the shore - listened to it constantly when the album came out.

    Count me in. Matt kills the drums on this one. Got to see it live this tour and was not disappointed.
    It's funny when things change so much
    It's all state of mind

    Don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff

    You think you hate it now, wait till you drive it...

    Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

    Incredible song. I hope to hear this and Army Reserve in Chicago.
    One man stands alone awaiting
    for her to come home
    eyes upon the horizon
    in the dark before the
    darkness leaves the dawn

    hard to believe this album is going on 6 years old... time sure does fly

    Those undecided,........ Needn't have faith to be free
    And those misguided, There was a plan for them to be
    Now you got both sides Claiming killing in Gods name
    But God is nowhere,..... To be found, conveniently

    I absolutely love the outro to this song. From the last chorus right to the end just rocks.

    A hugely underrated song. Ed's best "anti-religion" lyrics, IMHO.
