A 180-degree turn from Billy Talent’s typical punk rock sound, this poignant track about the death of a close friend is led by acoustic guitar and builds into a touching climax.
Lead singer Ben Kowalewicz said the following to CBC Music:
We had a very close and dear friend of ours pass away sudden...
[Verse 1]
We tried to stay young by chasing the sun
You blink for too long, the swan sing a song
And all that I've lost, and all that I've won
Don't mean nothing more when you open your eyes and they're gone
[Verse 2]
After all we've been told, we're still flesh and bone
And life's worth much more than silver and gold
And all that I've lost, and all that I've won
Don't mean nothing more when you open your eyes and they're gone
[Bridge]
And how can it be that we'll never see
The first day of spring and the last autumn leaves?
So lost in my mind, I try to stay strong
If wounds heal in time, tell me why it's so hard to move on
Hard to move on
I'll never move on
[Verse 3]
I curse the mistakes that we'll never make
The pictures of trips that we'll never take
And all of these thoughts that keep me awake
Hang on to your heroes before it's too late
Cause there'll come a time when you open your eyes and they're gone
Someday, they're gone
Someday, they'll be gone
And I'll still be here chasing the sun
