Story Behind The Song
Started on a notepad with lyrical ideas, the main guitar riff started as a fun, bouncy guitar idea but once we started putting it together it really feels like the riff from My Sharona. The lyrics mostly came from a place of frustration in struggling to find the right people who believe in me and will support me in this journey.
Song Description
About the nature of life to put a lot of obstacles in our way on the journey to happiness and success. And the necessity to push through those obstacles and keep moving forward. Life can provide many distractions from political news to drama at home, these things can weigh a lot of people down and prevent them from pursuing their dreams. But a truly ambitious person will push through these struggles and keep moving forward.

Lyrics
Heartbeat singing in the dead of night
Loose like a cannon on a hillside,
Shamelessly waiting for an explanation,
My emotions feeling like a sharp knife,
Cardboard killers on the TV now,
Grinning cuz they know they can bring you down,
Drifting closer to the darkest days,
We're all lost and waiting to be found,
So let's take a drive, while we have the time,
Don't know where but we can drive all night,
Don't care if the light is red, we're already dead,
So let's close our eyes, and full speed ahead,
Talking like I'm crazy and I don't know why,
If this world was a wall then I'd be a fly,
I can't understand what I'm searching for,
we all try our best just to get by,
So let's take a drive, while we have the time,
Don't know where but we can drive all night,
Don't care if the light is red, we're already dead,
So let's close our eyes, and full speed ahead,
So let's take a drive, while we have the time,
Don't know where but we can drive all night,
I don't care if the light is red, we're already dead,
So let's close our eyes, and full speed ahead,
So let's take a drive, while we have the time,
Don't know where but we can drive all night,
Don't care if the light is red, we're already dead,
So let's close our eyes, and full speed ahead,
