The lead track off of their first album, “Never Meant” immediately throws the listener into the emo/math rock/post-rock sound for which American Football is known.

Never Meant Lyrics
[Intro]
Are we ready? (I am ready)
We- We can keep that one, right?
Ready?
One, two
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
Let's just forget everything said
And everything we did
Best friends and better halves
Goodbyes
And the autumn night when we realized
We were falling out of love
[Chorus]
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said—) But we never did
[Verse 2]
Not to be overly (Overly)
Dramatic
I just think it's best
'Cause you can't miss what you forget
So, let's just pretend
Everything and anything
Between you and me
Was never meant
[Outro]
Was never meant

We decided before the album was even recorded that we were going to quit. I vividly remember finishing the “Never Meant” take. I just thought, “Wow we’ll never play the song that well again.” It’s funny: now I’m no...
