Well they say they don’t know why you’re with me But no one really understands the way we tend to be ‘Cause there’s so much more to this than they’ll ever know So just take my hand and jump ‘cause I will never let you go So when you're down on the ground And there's no one left around Just call out, make a sound You and I can take this town Or just stay home on our own Watching TV all alone It doesn't matter what we do As long as I'm with you This town is getting smaller every day I’m searching for a sign of life on streets and alleyways But you bring the summer heat and energy At any time of year; I just need you close to me So when you're down on the ground And there's no one left around Just call out, make a sound You and I can take this town Or just stay home on our own Watching TV all alone It doesn't matter what we do As long as I'm with you It’s nights like this when we can’t get enough So let’s get out of town and drive until the sun comes up You can sing along to your favourite song as I roll the windows down It’s just you and me and the summer nighttime air as we escape this town So when you're down on the ground And there's no one left around Just call out, make a sound You and I can take this town Or just stay home on our own Watching TV all alone It doesn't matter what we do As long as I'm with you So when you're down on the ground And there's no one left around Just call out, make a sound You and I can take this town Or just stay home on our own Watching TV all alone It doesn't matter what we do As long as I'm with you

I’ve never really felt like I’ve been in control Of the things that I want, all my dreams and goals But sometimes it’s not about the path you take Yeah it’s more about the things you do along the way So tonight I’m gonna do it all Yeah it’s going down but I will never fall It’s so easy to find darkness in everything But the world gets brighter when we sing - because Tonight’s the night I’m gonna turn this around Jump in and give it my all No one can stop me when I hit the ground running Fighting for what I believe ‘til the final curtain call I won’t stop doing all I can To hold my dreams in the palm of my hand And I know it seems impossible But you’d best be looking twice ‘cause I’m unstoppable So tonight I’m breaking down the walls True to myself, yeah I’m standing tall It’s so easy to find darkness in everything But the world gets brighter when we sing - because Tonight’s the night I’m gonna turn this around Jump in and give it my all No one can stop me when I hit the ground running Fighting for what I believe ‘til the final curtain call Shut up, eyes down, you’re always telling me to Fall back, in line, I have to be just like you But I fight, against, a world not made for me I live my life to fight complacency It’s so easy to find darkness in everything But the world gets brighter when we sing - because Tonight’s the night I’m gonna turn this around Jump in and give it my all No one can stop me when I hit the ground running Fighting for what I believe ‘til the final curtain call

Reparations 04:12
And he’s said some things he wished he hadn’t said Yeah he’s said some things that are better off erased out of his head But a spotless mind just isn’t in the cards, so it’s another night of Reparations and letting down his guard, so they can Make it through this storm - together And he says I’m not great at pushing past my pride, but I Know we can’t survive if we don’t try; I’ll do Anything to make it right 'cause I Just can’t sleep alone again tonight She’s been through so many times like these, when the Days of silence stretch out into weeks, and she just Wants to take back everything she screamed, so it’s another night of Reparations to fix what could have been, so they can Make it through this storm - together And she says I’m not great at pushing past my pride, but I Know we can’t survive if we don’t try; I’ll do Anything to make it right 'cause I Just can’t sleep alone again tonight So when things start falling apart I will always keep your heart Safe from stormy winds and waves And in the end we can be saved Yeah we can make it through this storm I’m not great at pushing past my pride, but I Know we can’t survive if we don’t try; I’ll do Anything to make it right 'cause I Just can’t sleep alone, no I Hate when I’m alone, so just Please tell me you’re coming home tonight

Well I might be a Canuck but I don't drink Canadian And my toques and hockey gear and plaid shirts have all been traded in 'Cause the mortgage on my igloo was more than I bargained for Yeah the living's not to easy up here in the great white north But punk rock saved my life, yeah the music helps me Keep my stick on the ice, when I'm feeling cold on a Snowy Arctic night, I just think aboot how Punk rock saved my life

I'd pick you up at half past nine And we'd walk with your hand in mine We would talk all the time Your eyes and the stars always aligned I don't know what when wrong But I pray it won't be long Till I see that you've come home Not just a picture on my phone I wake up every night Feeling sick from all those fights And every day it's the same Thoughts of you just cloud my brain I try to learn from my mistakes If you were here you'd see the change So let’s start over, me and you We can see this through 'Cause you were all I ever needed Can't you see my heart is bleeding But I - I wanna fly And I - I wanna fly away We started out so happily I never thought this is where we'd be It felt like heaven, what we’d found You’d smile at me & my heart would pound But now it’s pounding ‘cause I’m scared That we’ll lose this life we share Let’s talk it out and try again This doesn’t have to end 'Cause you were all I ever needed Can't you see my heart is bleeding But I - I wanna fly And I - I wanna fly away Now my clock says half past nine The sun set behind the horizon line You moved on and so should I Thank God for these friends of mine It still hurts to think of you But each day they help me through In the end, I'll be fine Someday I won't notice half past nine 'Cause you were all I ever needed But now my heart's no longer bleeding And I - learned how to fly Yeah I - learned how to fly away

Renegade 03:33
I’m finally on my way; I’m moving past the Things that hold me back, so step aside ‘cause I’m not gonna stay close to anything that Pulls me off my path You might try to stop me from realizing All that I can be, but I’ll push forward; Don’t think I forgot those words you said but They don’t bother me When you try to pull me down, I’ll pick myself up off the ground Yeah I’m broken and I’m bruised But don’t think I’ll stay down because of you ‘Cause no matter what’s in my way, I know things will be okay I’m an optimist at heart; yeah great things are close and it starts | with | me I’ll fight back and win, ‘cause my mind is clear; I know what I can become if I give it all, so Bring it on again, ‘cause you can’t stop me; I’ve already won So live life for today and do the things that Put you on the map; so find your course and Fight to never stray; keep pushing forward On your chosen path You will never bring me down I will fight and stand my ground Your disbelief is the perfect sound When you try to pull me down, I’ll pick myself up off the ground Yeah I’m broken and I’m bruised But don’t think I’ll stay down because of you ‘Cause no matter what’s in my way, I know things will be okay I’m an optimist at heart; yeah great things are close and it starts | with | me When you try to pull me down, I’ll pick myself up off the ground Yeah I’m broken and I’m bruised But I’ll get back up in spite of you ‘Cause no matter what’s in my way, I know things will be okay I’m an optimist at heart; yeah great things are close and it starts | with | me

The Wall 03:52
Another night, another sleepless night alone; it's 4am You're staring at the ceiling, hoping that the phone will start to ring But the room stays silent; this weight that pulls you down Has never felt more violent And I know you told me to disappear But I won't give up; no, I'll always be here I’ve got my back against the wall; I know you’re trying to hold on. But even with my back against the wall, I swear I’ll never let you fall. Persevere and stand up tall; fight through the pain, keep moving on. Even with your back against the… November hasn't felt the same since our voices rang out Over rooftops, always pointing blame, and I know this Bitter cold might stay, even after all the Dry leaves blow away And I know we might be stuck here for some time But I won't give up; with work I know we can be fine I’ve got my back against the wall; I know you’re trying to hold on. But even with my back against the wall, I swear I’ll never let you fall. Persevere and stand up tall; fight through the pain, keep moving on. Even with your back against the… And you said we’d never make it out alive But I have faith, that somehow, we’re strong enough to survive I’ve got my back against the wall; I know you’re trying to hold on. But even with my back against the wall, I swear I’ll never let you fall. Persevere and stand up tall; fight through the pain, keep moving on. Even with your back against the… I’ve got my back against the wall; I know you’re trying to hold on. But even with my back against the wall, I swear I’ll never let you fall. Persevere and stand up tall; fight through the pain, keep moving on. Even with your back against the…

about

Among Legends' sophomore EP 'Starting Over' picks up where "We Were Vaguely Saints" ends off - pushing the band further into true pop-punk territory without losing their punk rock edge. As with all previous releases, 'Starting Over' represents a continuation of Among Legends' mission to create a more positive, inclusive pop-punk community. Songs like "Half Past Nine" and "Reparations" tackle topics like heartbreak and the struggles of maintaining healthy relationships, while tracks like "Renegade" and "Final Curtain Call" encourage listeners to find the strength and inspiration to overcome struggles and do the things that they were meant to do. With a new collection of seven catchy, high-energy tracks, Among Legends' 'Starting Over' is sure to appeal to pop-punk fans and skeptics alike.
