Biography:
Straylight Run was the project of ex-Taking Back Sunday members John Nolan and Shaun Cooper. The band formed in May 2003 shortly after John and Shaun left Taking Back Sunday due to personal differences with lead singer Adam Lazzara. John and Shaun had been writing songs while still in the old band that they felt didn't fit in with Taking Back Sunday's style, and the freedom of starting a new band gave them a chance to experiment with this new sound.

Dead weight carried on for miles and miles.

And someone's telling jokes but you never smile,

As the rows of tombstone houses pass you by.
C
And I say, you say, we say change.
Am
But we all know just what they say.
C Am
The more things change the more they stay the same.
C(strum once)
They just stay the same.

start strumming the C and Am for this verse
C
It's a long cold winter in the dead of night.
Am
And the candidates are saying they can make it right.
C Am
And we'll buy almost anything that they sell.
C
Drop dead headlights coming down the road.
Am
And we're frozen blind
Believing in a heart of gold that will
C Am
Swoop right in and save us from our sins.
C(strum once)
Save us from our sins.
