They’re coming to take our resolve away
To steal all the progress that we have made
Our backs to the wall, but our hands clasped like steel
And we’ll never regret; though they say that we will
We’ll smile at the sound of silence…
These voices say that we’ll die – we’ll fade by the road as cities fly by
We will survive and, hearing silence, we’ll smile
When it hurts to be in love
I’d take it all back if it meant gaining more
But I’ve never fought this hard for you before
They all say stop, but these time zones have shown
What you mean to me and just how far I’ll go
Lyrics by Darin Keim, Music by Staple
Behind the Song:"I wrote this in honor of our guitarist and all the musicians who are married or are trying their hardest to maintain a relationship while being on the road. I think it can be a testament to greater love, rather than less, that they are willing to live this life. They’re fighting through it. This suggests that they love each other dearly because they haven’t given up and are willing to make one of the most demanding schedules work in their lives." - Darin Keim (
