lyrics

Cold November night
we stood side by side under city light
waiting for southbound bus number 22
and just like that I turned and talked to you

I don't believe in fate
but I believe in taking chances
I couldn't concentrate
I'm always making second glances

So I'll go home again, alone as my thoughts swirl inside
I couldn't wrap my head around you even if I tried
And all those things I felt about you, I don't think were true
I liked the idea of you more than I ever liked you

You weren't quite the conversation-setter
but I'll admit that I'm not much better
And I think that actions speak louder than words
and your lack of them's telling me that this won't work

I don't believe in fate
I'm getting tired of taking chances
You left me to suffocate
in my own fairy tale romances

So I'll go home again, alone as my thoughts swirl inside
I couldn't wrap my head around you even if I tried
And all those things I felt about you, I don't think were true
I liked the idea of you more than I ever liked you

Desperation hit me slowly
I feel like everyone is taunting me only
And even when I have my friends to keep my head up
I still feel so lonely

Will I ever know what love's like?
Is it another thing I can't get just right?
I was planning in my head every word I never said
and everything we never did that night

So I'll go home again, alone as my thoughts swirl inside
I couldn't wrap my head around you even if I tried
And all those things I felt about you, I don't think were true
I liked the idea of you more than I ever liked you

So I'll go home again, alone as my thoughts swirl inside
I couldn't wrap my head around you even if I tried
And all those things I felt about you, I don't think were true
I liked the idea of you more than I ever liked you

You were only just a daydream
I liked the idea of you more than I ever liked you
But then you turned into a nightmare
I liked the idea of you more than I ever liked you

You were only just a daydream
I liked the idea of you more than I ever liked you
But then you turned into a nightmare
I liked the idea of you more than I ever liked you

You Won't Be My Anchor

The best thing about defunct punk-pop bands is that even though they are long gone; their ART lives on with Bandcamp. Such is the case with Canada's All Systems Go. They deserved better; but add them to the pile of hopeful" bands dashed upon the rocks on the business side of music. Prime example of Pop-Punk & classic Easycore style. Awesome sounds to get "speeding" tickets to! Turn it Up loud & Drive Fast! RIP ASG! Agent K
