Keep It On Wax Lyrics
[Wade:] I, I guess the only thing cheap to you was your friends
[George:] You can always make new friends
[Wade:] (oh well, oh well)
[George:] But when you sell them out will they be worth as much?
[2x]
[George:] Now this bridge is ashes
It might as well have never been built
It might as well have never been built
and the river that it crossed
Looks like an ocean now
looks like an ocean now
[Wade:] Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
[Dallas:] Love to play the victim
[Wade:] You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
[Dallas:] Was it all for nothing?
[Chris:] Keep it on wax
[George:] You're not the only one
Who's had to make sacrifices
We all had to make sacrifices
And time won't heal shit
When you've got your hands in my pockets
When you've got your hands
[George:] Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream
[Wade:] It don't change a goddamn thing (It don't change)
[George:] Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream (A goddamn thing)
[2x]
[Wade:] I, I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
[George:] Oh, what a fucking shame
Oh, that you had to mess things up this bad
[Wade:] Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
[Dallas:] Love to play the victim
[Wade:] You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
[Dallas:] Was it all for nothing?
[Wade:] It's gone, it's gone
[George:] There's nothing left
[Chris:] Keep it on wax
[2x]
[George:] You can always make new friends
[Wade:] (oh well, oh well)
[George:] But when you sell them out will they be worth as much?
[2x]
It might as well have never been built
It might as well have never been built
and the river that it crossed
Looks like an ocean now
looks like an ocean now
Some people love to play the victim
[Dallas:] Love to play the victim
[Wade:] You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
[Dallas:] Was it all for nothing?
[Chris:] Keep it on wax
Who's had to make sacrifices
We all had to make sacrifices
And time won't heal shit
When you've got your hands in my pockets
When you've got your hands
Scream, Scream, Scream
[Wade:] It don't change a goddamn thing (It don't change)
[George:] Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream (A goddamn thing)
[2x]
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
Oh, that you had to mess things up this bad
Some people love to play the victim
[Dallas:] Love to play the victim
[Wade:] You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
[Dallas:] Was it all for nothing?
[George:] There's nothing left
[Chris:] Keep it on wax
[2x]

Few corrections here...
But it's not always worth as much should be But you seldom know if they'll be worth as much (or something to that extent)
Your caution to the end should be Your caution to the wind
Amazing song, love Wade in this song.
So fucking sweet. It's a different type of Alexis. Incredible.
So fucking sweet. It's a different type of Alexis. Incredible.
Im not sure what this means ..anyone know?
in my honest opinon, this song to me means cutting off connections with friends, hence the verse
Now this bridge is ashes It might as well have never been built It might as well have never been built Little river that it crossed Looks like an ocean now, looks like an ocean now
I can relate to this song, cause once I met my girlfriend (who is now my ex) I didn't hang around with my friends as much anymore...so I was burning bridges, so I went out and made new friends, but they wern't worth as much to me as the old ones were; which also makes sence cause of the intro of:
I, I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends You can always make new friends (oh no) But it's not always worth as much (oh no)
thats my take on the song.
shouldnt it be "THROW caution to the WIND" not "YOUR caution to the END" or "YOUR caution to the wind"
I think this song follows a theme to the record about them returning home, and being disgusted. There is a drug problem in St Catherines, ONT and I think the guys are trying to relate this to us. Some of there old friends have abandonded them, and now they are horrified.
I don't know if this is related to the song lyrics but the title comes from a saying among kids in 'da hood. Keep it on Wax means keep it on vinyl and not kill each other. And I got this from their message board and the administrator was the one who said it.
What I think it's about has been said before. It's just about friends.
I take this song is very mellowed out and taken from a less aggressive standpoint - like its sound.
Is Wade dominant on the vocals? The rawness of his voice fits nicely
I believe Wade is singing this song rather than Dallas. I like it a lot.
