The story behind the song

This song captures the feeling of a wild, unforgettable night, born from an experience the lead singer described as his "worst drinking night of all time." It’s an anthem that blends stadium rock with indie pop, creating a powerful, life-affirming sound. The lyrics evoke the spirit of youth and the camaraderie found in shared, chaotic moments. At its heart, it's a celebration of living intensely and embracing the present, even when things go a little sideways.

Give me a second I

I need to get my story straight

My friends are in the bathroom

Getting higher than the empire state

My lover she's waiting for me

Just across the bar

My seats been taken by some sunglasses

Asking 'bout a scar

And I know I gave it to you months ago

I know you're trying to forget

But between the drinks and subtle things

The holes in my apologies

You know I'm trying hard to take it back

So if by the time the bar closes

Am G F

And you feel like falling down

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter
