State Champs - Critical

Critical Lyrics

I’ve always wanted what I can’t have
and I’ve been making it a note to feel what’s left to feel
and put my shoulder to the wheel
Everything about me used to have a mind of it’s own
I’ve got what’s left of me, some positivity
and no more waiting on a dial tone
because I’ve loved and lost a cause
and that’s enough to never let you forget me

We’ve been gone for too long to see this happen again
Then again, you’re too gone to say that’s not what you meant
You’re crying, I’m not trying
I won’t let this life get so critical

Remember the time you asked me to let go?
Where did you want me to begin?
Take a stand
You know you haven’t got what you came for
and recently, my counter seems to be the place to be at night
You were right, I must be wrong for wanting you to know
I let go of the old
and you don’t deserve to see where it leads me to be
and doesn’t that make you question why we were here in the first place?

We’ve been gone for too long to see this happen again
Then again, you’re too gone to say that’s not what you meant
You’re crying, I’m not trying
I won’t let this life get so critical

I’m like a boy lost in a city
not wanting to be found
Everything is a sight to see until you come back around
I’m like a boy lost in a city
not wanting to be found
Everything is a site to see until you come back around

We’ve been gone for too long to see this happen again
Then again, you’re too gone to say that’s not what you meant
You’re crying, I’m not trying
I won’t let this life get so critical

The OGs remember when this was their biggest song. Absolute classic

Apparently 17 people don't know what true music is. Love these guys.

[caroman]

2:48 when he just belts out that critical lyric im so pumped up

[LETHE.X.FL.HARDCORE]

nostalgia from this song hits me so hard.

[sonicsforrealfather]

I like how the longer you look at the guy's face, the more you see how in this single frame he realizes how much of a bad idea that was.

[omgstoptakingnames]

i was wondering why i was liking this song more than i used to, turns out it really is a different version, i like this so much more.

[thirstpls]

This is probably my favorite song on this fantastic album.

[mosfriendsforever]

I still like to think he says "..you're crying and I'm not drunk and" idk why I've just always thought that's what he's saying so I I like to believe he does

[HannahSoLame]

Anyone else get the Saves The Day reference at the beginning? Shoulder to the Wheel(:!
