	Story Behind the Song This song was the last Draft Riots song to be introduced to the band. It is one of our harder rocking songs, and I think it does alot to establish the range of the songs we play. Lyrics Hello, look at me and shift your gaze down Please to meet you, so love me forever and how Come around 'bout five, we'll watch the stars cry You're a thief, and I’m a liar Hopeless times in a world of fire Why do you always? Hold on 'til we lose control Why do you always? Through shattered dreams we break the mold Why do you always? The priceless things have all been sold… Cuz life is a rule you just can't break on a whim And time is a tool, you can't rewind it but still So why do you always? Come here, we'll live this, we'll waste this Here they come, let's slip out back on the terrace Hold my hand, but what does it count for? Memories on a quick release I know I should, I wish I could Off the edge Come and save me Worlds apart Don't come near me Off the edge Seconds gone Worlds apart We can't ever… Move on, wasted goals, we'll never let go Build me up to break me down
