Echoes Lyrics
A quick bullet, a tough one to dodge
And no one ever does
It cuts fast and deep, keeps you from sleep
And you just have to let it bleed
I know the pain, it's all too familiar
If I could sing words to help you know I would
And they would end the pain
But you will have to let this make you stronger
It's difficult to overcome
The name of a ghost still dancing on our tongues
So bittersweet, these memories
I wish they could have taken me
You will struggle through tough times
And destroy all your fears
Don't let this win over you
Soon you will end the pain
And you will say that it did make you stronger
This is how you overcome
And we've all heard it sung
You really don't know what you got until it's gone
And then you want it back so much
Nobody ever warned you
Breathe in, take it in deep
Cross your heart, it's yours for you to keep
Wishful, I guess I never was
I am looking up now, death can't change us
And no one ever does
It cuts fast and deep, keeps you from sleep
And you just have to let it bleed
If I could sing words to help you know I would
But you will have to let this make you stronger
It's difficult to overcome
So bittersweet, these memories
I wish they could have taken me
You will struggle through tough times
And destroy all your fears
And you will say that it did make you stronger
This is how you overcome
And we've all heard it sung
You really don't know what you got until it's gone
And then you want it back so much
Nobody ever warned you
Cross your heart, it's yours for you to keep
Wishful, I guess I never was
I am looking up now, death can't change us

It's missing just a little bit at the end.
Breathe in, take it in deep (And I will keep pieces of you alive in me) Cross your heart, it's yours for you to keep (Your spirit carries on) Wishful, I guess I never was (And I will keep pieces of you alive in me) I am looking up now, death can't change us (Your spirit carries on)
I will stand alone. I will learn from this, I will. I will mourn the loss And I will be stronger
and then the "dadada" parts come in.
this is my favorite song on the album, and it's so uplifting live. If you ever have the chance to see these guys, do it. They're incredible.
Is it just me or does anyone else love the "Da da da" part at the end where matt and jordan switch off vocals? i think it's amazing..
i hear ya there. one of my favorite vocals of all time.

this song has 2 straight off meanings,
1) It's about the loss of a loved one and the pain and hardship of getting over it, basically this is what set your goals themselves wrote the song for, the video for the song confirms it.
2) It could also be about just hard shit in life, like losing friendships or moving and shit like that. I mean most of the song fits for anything that has to deal with hardship.
this band has an amazing talent and all you people that say they're sellouts can seriously go hang yourselves.
yo stfu, and get at me son^
hm, it's a song name, not because it has the same name as another band that it's necessarely stolen, Rihana doing a cover of tainted love is stealing...that? no not at all. Love's it
I love it....set your goals rule. and if you don't like them then dont waste your time listening to them
I love it....set your goals rule. and if you don't like them then dont waste your time listening to them
stealing song names? theres like 100 songs called echoes for starters, and echoes isnt the most uncommon word in the world. set your goals rule.
who cares what the song is called, look at the lyrics. if you think this band is useless you need a swift sock in the jaw. syg owns.
I saw them live and they said that the song was about going through the loss of a loved one. Its an amazing song
