The group started to play out in cities that included Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. During this period 30footFALL put out a 7”, Elementary School Love, and Yo Mama’s Records issued 500 copies. The band’s lineup changed yet again by the close of 1994, when guitarist Avitia dropped out. The band played each of its next two shows with a different guitarist, both of whom had worked previously with the group I End Result. The first guitarist was P-Nut. He was followed by Chris, who ended up staying a bit longer.

The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?"
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream...
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
The song, "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure, is a popular track that 30FootFall did a punk rock twist to. The first verse begins with a girl longing for a particular action that will make her laugh and scream. She is looking for a connection with her partner and promises to run away together if he fulfills her desires. The chorus follows her declaration of love and appreciation for this special someone. She describes them as soft, only, strange as angels while they dance passionately in the ocean. The second verse shifts the perspective to the male partner who kisses her face and head. He dreams of different ways to make her glow, but she feels distant and wonders why he doesn't recognize her feelings of love for him. The final chorus laments the loss of the singer's love as she has drowned deep inside of him.
This song is an interpretation of a romantic encounter with stunning descriptions and metaphors. The first verse captures the excitement of young love and the willingness to take risks. The second verse reveals that not everything is perfect, and some people may not appreciate the love that one has to offer. Overall, the song has a bittersweet tone, emphasizing that the highs of love come with the risk of drowning in despair.
