Theres nothing that we can do now
I'm convinced, oh, that you're right
You're right where you belong,
Beside me, to remind me
Did you ever think this far behind me
You would see the world for what it was
And who we really were
Oh they love us American boys
As long as I'm with you
Anything, ask anything
We'll watch the world go by
Anywhere, say anywhere
As long as I'm with you
Anything, ask anything
We'll watch the world
Staring out windows,
A place we've never been
While soundtracks play in backgrounds
To the stories of our lives
Non-fiction, oh envision,
if we never met and what we missed
And never really learned
Pacific Standard Time
Oh they love those American boys
As long as I'm with you
Anything, ask anything
We'll watch the world go by
Anywhere, say anywhere
As long as I'm with you
Anything, ask anything
We'll watch the world
As long as I'm with you
Anything, ask anything
We'll watch the world go by
As long as I'm with you
Anything, ask anything
We'll watch the world go by
Anywhere, say anywhere
As long as I'm with you
Anything, ask anything
We'll watch the world

Amazing song.
Perhaps one of my favourite songs on Cities.
Although, I'm still a little skeptical with the last line where they say "american boys" .. is that right?
Its definitely right. Phenomenal job on the lyrics.
Does anyone know what this song means?
I could be wrong, but I kind of get the feeling he's saying he's got his loved one "right beside [him]." But I'm confused cause he says "Oh they love us American boys," so it seems like he's taking his loved one on tour with him.
I love this song. And i don't think hes talking about a loved one. If you read the lyrics he talks about the places the band has been on tour and all the great times he's had with them. I think its basically a song dedicated to the guys in the band and anywhere they go, as long as their together they'll have an amazing time :)
they've played in amsterdam and tokyo?? don't think so, the first oversea tour starts in a couple of weeks... but i also think he's just singing about some travelling partner/s
dude you obviously know nothing of Anberlin as I saw them in Sydney Australia 2 years ago when Friendship album came out. This is a song about being on tour
i love this song anberlin is AMAZING
i dunno maybe it has something to do with god, seeing as they are a religious band, they're saying about how they're always travelling everywhere on tour but they are always with god or something like that, or it could be about a lover as well i really don't know but i love the song and i love anberlin
echopark is only half right. i saw them again last night and this is far and away my favorite song by them, and stephen promised me a few nights before to play an acoustic in the parking lot, but apparently they've never ever performed this song and stephen did all the instrumentals so they had no idea how, but i asked him what he wrote it about, and he said that it was just about the band and how much their friendship means to him, and he wrote it as they were starting to do world tours and how insane the feeling was of him and his best friends going all over the world and stuff.
he wrote it about his bandmates. i love this song. i like how you can see it in a romantic way, and also in a friendship way(:
