about

Probably the most revisions I’ve ever made to a song. First version was written in the summer of 2008 at my old practice space. I started recording my drum track and fucked up on the triplet you hear in the beginning section. I decided to keep it and work around it. Basically - The opening riff was written about five years ago and has appeared in about three different songs. The verse was a chorus to another song and the chorus was a bridge to something else. The bridge in this song was the chorus in the original version of the song with the opening riff.

lyrics

DESPERATE WITH STANDARDS

Come out tonight don't let me down
Let's make a bad decision and run it into the ground
Nobody else can make me feel like you
Come out tonight and stop playing games
Though I'm willing to participate it's not the same
Nobody else can make me feel like you

Day to day you pull charades
And think you do it well
You're calculated, far from perfect
From a distance, nobody can tell

Come out tonight and break all of your plans
I'd break all of mine too if I had the chance
Nobody else can make me feel like you

Now you're back on track not under attack
Looking through the gutters for what's left
You gotta step back, watch it all collapse
Like I know you
