Eight Seconds, Best Friends

Upbeat pop-punk band feel with male vocals; crunchy, driving guitars, tight drums, and a simple, anthemic bass line, Verses stay half-time and intimate on the first pass, then kick into a full-energy four-on-the-floor groove, Big gang-vocal choruses and “whoa-oh” shouts, short palm-muted bridge that explodes into the final hook

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] You walked in with that old band tee Ripped blue jeans and a wild daydream Saying “One day they’ll call my name And I’ll climb that gate I won’t look away” You trace arenas on your notebook lines Draw bucking bulls and crooked spines You tell me fear’s just another ride And I’m the one yelling on the side [Chorus] When the chute swings open I’ll be right there If you get thrown I’ll be the friend Still holding your spare If the ground comes fast And the crowd goes quiet I’ll help you stand We’ll laugh about it You chase eight seconds like it’s all you need And I’ll be cheering for the rest of your dreams [Verse 2] We blast your favorite records loud Sing off-key Still we feel so proud You say those songs saved your life Now you wanna live one just as loud and bright You talk about dirt Dust Glory Pain About going back up again and again You say “If I fall That’s on me” I say “If you fall You fall into me” [Chorus] When the chute swings open I’ll be right there If you get thrown I’ll be the friend Still holding your spare If the ground comes fast And the crowd goes quiet I’ll help you stand We’ll laugh about it You chase eight seconds like it’s all you need And I’ll be cheering for the rest of your dreams [Bridge] Maybe you’ll ride Maybe you won’t Maybe that gate stays closed But I’ve seen your heart I know Whatever road you choose Whatever boots you use I’m in the front row [Chorus] When the chute swings open I’ll be right there If you get thrown I’ll be the friend Still holding your spare If the ground comes fast And the crowd goes quiet I’ll help you stand We’ll laugh about it You chase eight seconds like it’s all you need And I’ll be cheering for the rest of your dreams [Outro] You chase eight seconds Wild and free I’m here for every in-between scene
