lyrics

I'm looking for a way to show that together we'll endure
The years have nursed a cynic temperance that little else could cure
Survival instinct's left us alive but immature
I think we're capable of better, oh, I'm sure

I'm looking for a newborn ocean where waters overflow
The well we wished in drained its waters and crumbled long ago
And nighttime worries drag us deeper through the undertow
I think we're capable of better, oh

You feel we may have missed our open door
But hope for better leaves you wanting more

I'm looking for a way to tell you there's nothing left to fear
'Cause through the sharp and rapid waters I will be right here
This union tying us together's holding strong this year
I still think we're capable of better, you know it too, my dear

You feel we may have missed our open door
But hope for better leaves you wanting more
The seas we sail are growing deeper
I know I'm not my brother's keeper
But maybe we'll together reach the shore

You feel we may have missed our chance again
But hope for better's still your only friend
The seas we sail are growing deeper
I know I'm not my brother's keeper
But maybe we'll together reach the end

about

Statue Still Hoboken, New Jersey

We're a party rock band that likes to party and loves to rock. Our shows are a fun time because our audiences truly become part of our family, every single night.

We like to play a fun mix of covers and originals, mostly spanning between rock, alternative, pop and folk. The bottom line is... we like to play music that you can dance, sing, or drink to. ... more
