Welcome to The Underground
"I am proud that night after night and album after album, a mass of humanity I now refer to lovingly as the pop underground, come together and sing. Whether it's in theaters and concert venues around the world, in the privacy of our own homes or the constantly shifting landscape of social media, we are a scrappy tribe and we stand for something: Music that is found, shared and cared for despite access to traditional outlets; music that lives virally and through word of mouth; music that tells a story that people want to retell." - Andrew McMahon

I saw this old friend at the Eveleigh bar,
Life hadn't treated him so well.
A heart so gold, and words so blue, in a body home from hell.
He said if I could tell you one thing, I would tell you this,

There's only one mistake that I have made,
it's giving up the music in my fingertips
by trying to get to heaven through my veins.

All our lives, I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory, you always walked before me, but you came back to warn me,
All our lives.

I saw this woman with tears in her eyes, driving beside me yesterday
She turned her head, then I turned mine, and I watched her drive away
I thought if I could tell her something I would tell her this
There's only two mistakes that I have made
It's running from the people who could love me best
and trying to fix a world that I can't change

All our lives, I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory, you always walked before me, but you came back to warn me, all our lives.
I remember being young and staring at my hands in the middle of the night the first light of the morning
the room like a church voices down the hall i barely made them out but sometimes you don't wanna know
all our lives
now that i'm older i can tell you this the mornings i miss but i don't really miss the voices
you've got a choice, i've got the hands, skeletons and plans you've gotta let 'em go


All our lives, I've watched you search beneath the fallen skies
all our lives, I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory
You always walked before me but you came back to warn me
All our lives, all our lives. I watched you search beneath the fallen skies. This was no path to glory. You always walked before me but you came back to warn me. All our lives.

I think he's saying The Eveleigh Bar. I thought he was saying Everly, but Google tells me The Eveleigh is a bar on Sunset.

This is incredible. I keep hitting repeat, and I really need to closely listen to the rest of the album. My daughter was bugging me the whole first listen. Apparently 5 year old's have no concept of what new Andrew songs really means Now that she is sleeping I have my studio headphones on and I just keep hitting repeat on this one, and haven't listened to the rest closely yet. This whole album is incredible, but this song... I'm have no words for how much I love it.

Definitely my favorite song on the new album, and probably one of my top 5 Andrew McMahon songs of all time.
