Definitely amazing. This band means a lot to me! They never let you down. It doesn't matter what they're doing... "Cause we lost it all, nothing lasts forever, sorry I can't be perfect" Why is it that I can relate to this song too much? I always find myself asking myself if my parents feel I grew up "according to plan". It's too overwhelming. It just takes you whole. This song will always bring a tear to my eye. Je t'aime les garcons!

the song really really hits home for me...cuz it really makes me think about how my dad always wants me to work hard, get straight a's, go to some top 10 college and stuff. but instead, i play guitar to de-stress from too much work and all i get are verbal assaults night after night....not working hard enough, music won't get me anywhere....yeah. these guys know how to write lyrics. obviously a group that writes songs for a reason.
