We Did It All for Don Lyrics

Please tell me why we couldn't stay
Don't let this feeling ever go away
Let this memory forever be inside of me
Through every hour of every day
It's with the company of these friends
That we drove on through the night
Behind the wheel of Armageddon
We're gonna force ourselves to live
Thankful it's hurt more than we've ever felt
It's just our means to an end

And honestly we were armed with our best intentions
Maybe those intentions alone
are just enough to get us anywhere but here
In the middle of america
Six cylinders will take us further than any president
The same promises that we forgot the last time
There's no difference between staying and a bullet in the head
Maybe it's gonna come from the radio
Or the next eight hour day
Driving to the next town
A collect call home to your best friend
We are the company we keep
We could live off of dumpsters if we have to
Sell our blood by the pint to make rent
This kind of dignity doesn't come easy
But you'll never find it for sale

First of all, this acoustic is breathtakingly sweet. I think he is talking about leaving everything behind and that he knows its hard, but that he is not looking out to live so easily and he wants his life to be worth it.

and honestly we were armed with the best intentions..

i can't believe this has only gotten one comment. this is one of my favorite against me! songs..it is so unbelievably powerful and the message about always having friends to lean on and that you can't ask for anything more let alone buy friends and love with money, which is so fucking true and a lot of people don't seem to realize it.

as noted in the sleeve of the Acoustic EP, Armageddon was the name of their old tour van
