lyrics

what becomes of the bassist in the buzzband
when the singer starts his solo career?
it all fell apart just before the second album
well we’re always ending up in arrears

let's start a brand, we got a vision of precision
we’ll take a stand, we can do anything
the split was planned
i knew it, i could see it coming
so here i am, like the snow in the spring

the blogs fell in love with our meaningless nostalgia
but we couldn't quite connect with the kids
our manager advised, "take it in a new direction"
i found myself end up on the skids

let's start a brand, we got a vision of precision
we’ll take a stand, we can do anything
the split was planned
i knew it, i could see it coming
so here i am, like the snow in the spring

do you believe in the fluidity of time?
i've heard about that, sure
but I've made up my mind
i've made up my mind
i've made up my mind
and i won't be defined

yeah!

let's start a brand, we got a vision of division
we’ll take a stand, we can do anything
the split was planned
i knew it, i could see it coming
so here i am, like the snow in the spring
