Album: Siren Song Of The Counter Culture (2004)

License This Song 

• One last thing I beg you please just before you go
  I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world
  Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
  Landed somewhere far from here with no one else around
  To catch you falling down
  And I'm looking at you now
  
  And I can't tell if you're laughing
  Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
  There's a train leaving town in an hour
  Its not waiting for you and neither am I
  
  Swing for the fences son
  He must have told you once
  That was a conversation you took nothing from
  So raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
  Just put off another day of knowing where your from
  You can catch up with yourself if you run
  
  And I can't tell if you're laughing
  Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
  There's a train leaving town in an hour
  Its not waiting for you and neither am I
  
  Is this the life that you lead?
  Or the life that's left for you?
  Will you take the road that's been laid out before you
  Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight? Somewhere else
  
  And I can't tell if you're laughing
  Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
  There's a train leaving town in an hour
  Its not waiting for you and neither am I
  
  And I can't tell if you're laughing
  Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
  There's a train leaving town in an hour
  Its not waiting for you and neither am I Writer/s: BRANDON BARNES, CHRISTOPHER CHASSE, JOSEPH PRINCIPE, TIMOTHY MCILRATH

  "One last thing I beg you please, just before you go, i've watched you fly on paper wings halfway around the world into they burnt up in the atmosphe...."( sounds like someone who hasnt reched ther full potentiol and can do better.)
  
  "swing for the fences son..." ( the conversation "swing for the fences son" could be saying do as much or the best you could. "that was a conversation..." sying you didnt take anytrhing from that and didnt do all you could so "raise youre glass" like look how well you did(sarcasm)
  
  "you can catch up with yourself if you run.."( you can still do something if you try hard enough)
  
  "thers a train leaving town in an hour.." can mean thers an open oppurtunity you can take, dont just sit aroundwating time go for that oppurtunity.)
  
  "is this the life that you lead..." (are you doing what you can and living up to your potential?)"will you take the road..." ( will you take the oppurtunity?)
  
  the other lyrics sound like the other person in a relationship, this song could be about doing whats best for you or taking any kind of oppurtunity.
  
  The band name RISE AGAINST fits the theme to the song of rising againstabove the situation(the smart thing to do), a very good msesage.
  
  above the situation like any smart person would
