| this song is good because when i used to be with my gf all those nights we did spend really did make us the way we were until i messed it up and now i miss those nights i used to share with her. Now that i call its different and theirs nothing i can do because it really does seem like shes not there when we talk. its sad but i really like this song. | |

| i love the meaning behind the lyrical content (of all their songs!!). i can relate to the feeling that its your only shot and having everybody telling you not to do it but you know you hafta. | |

| This was the song that got me into Mest when I heard it on the 2003 Warped Tour comp. It's still my favorite Mest song (second only to "Greyhound Bus.") Makes most of the other songs on their latest album look really bad in comparison. (Return To Self-Loathing, I'm looking in your direction...) | |

| Yeah, very similar to the ataris in the lyrics...They always write about friendship, memories and fun. I love this song...I don't think it has anything to do with love between m/f though. Its more about just friendship and how are those things you did with a friend will always remain in your heart. About how those little things...like drinking till the early morning or just talking to someone like yourself makes you who you are today. Just being inspired by all those good feeling makes you want to reach out and follow a dream even if its against all odds that you will reach it. It reminds me of all the things I've dont with one friend of mine...we've been through hell together but everything that has happened has lead us to what we are right now. | |
