LYRICS:
Soft sound, you turn around
Eyes locked, you pull me to the edge
Maybe I should turn and run away from this
But I don’t, and I won’t...

My head feels light
I lost a lot of blood since last night
I was cowering in her cold memory

You look good tonight
My heart’s got a hole and you’d fit just right
If you could patch me up, I just might get some sleep

Deep in your eyes, I’m reeling
You're proof my heart's still beating

This time, I know for sure
You're what I've waited for
Feels like you're everything I need

Have I had a bit too much?
I think someday you’ll be my bride
Dive into the abyss, my love
Confess your darkest sins tonight

Run through that open door
Just like I've done before
Your heart’s so reckless and lovely
(And it feels like you’re everything)

I wanna know you better
I wanna treat you right
I wanna pull you closer
I wanna feel alive

Run through that open door
You’ll leave me wanting more
I’ll make you perfect in my dreams
(It feels like you’re everything)

Honestly the album is one of the best I've heard in a long time. Can't wait to be the hipster guy who tells everyone I knew about you before you blew up

[OnTheDownBeat]

This is criminally under-Viewed. This is inspiration to get back to writing. Love it <3

[paulorr]

Love this song and this whole album so much! Can’t wait for the next album 👀

[Momgoespunk]

Conversation that happened with my husband:
Me: *Playing your album nonstop*
Him: You like him too?
Me: Hes FUCKING BRILLIANT! I can't stop listening
Him: I know. I heard one song on FB and now I'm addicted
Us: Starts talking about the meaning of the songs to us and how "Worth it" reminds me of him
You brought out our musical side that went away with the punk/poppunk days and made us all giddy again <3

[seanziegler]

It’s criminal that this band only has 540 subs!

[troy]

Okay I was just joking about you being a wizard in the "Without You" video, but now your music's turning people back into children?!
I'm onto you, John ;)

[elijahradant]

Thank you for making the chords available so my buddy and I can cover!

[rickkern]

Wow just I love how nostalgic this song makes me feel. I was fortunate enough to marry my high school sweetheart going on 13 years strong and when I showed her this video it brought her to tears. Thank you so much for bringing this music back it means so much to us.

[matthewtwells]

Saw the video for "The South" on FB, and immediately got on board as a fan.
Must have listened to this album about 20 times through already - easily one of the best of 2020 so far for me.
Though Run The Jewels 4 did just come out haha...

[deadheadcheddar]

The ONE person who disliked this video doesnt know shit about good music. This is the best stuff I've heard in years! The talent is there, but it's the raw emotion and energy that keeps pulling me back in to listen over and over again. Great stuff

[adoremusoh]

I just love so much that Benjamin seems to wear Anberlin merch in just about every video

[johnhildebrandt]

This has fast become one of my favorite songs ever. Thank you so much for this

[bigcat]

I love this song, hell, this whole album so much. You're really talented and your music is amazing!
