The complete and original line up of Across Five Aprils reunited to write and record a few songs in conjunction with a series of reunion shows in late 2010. In 2011, this collection of songs was released through Indianola Records as the EP Going Down With The Ship, this song is from that collection.
The band's name was selected from the title of the first full length album they released as Across Five Aprils in 2003 on Indianola Records. Each member enjoyed writing and playing together again with friends so they collectively decided to continue writing new music. A Tragedy Progress recently tracked a full length which is tentatively set to be released in the summer of 2012.
Lyrics:
I wish time would stand still so I could still stand next to you
I'd trade it all
Every breath I have for you
These walls are shaking, my bones are aching
These screams are too familiar
I read your name in the Times, surviving you was the line
All we had in a few words of black and white?
I still turn the game on, because I know it's your show
Your picture up on the wall, this is too far to fall
Got me thinking about letting this all...
Got me thinking of letting this all go
Second to minutes, minutes to hours
Hours to days and days and days
I guess time can stand still
And the irony of it all, it's too late
It's too late
