Their innovative sound, spawned from the elements of their influences, Lynyrd Skynrd, Bon Jovi, The Outlaws and the Beatles, along with Switchfoot, U2, Coldplay and myriad of other legends, has propelled these four southern boys to be anything but unnoticed. With an unerring instinct in their lyrics, the aim of Seventh Time Down is to have the music filter into the innermost parts of you.

Lead singer and guitarist, Mikey Howard, who also writes many of the lyrics, says “When it gets right down to it, I’ve just tried to be who I am. I can’t be anybody but me. Nothing hidden, we’re an “on the surface” band and that comes out in our lyrics.” Four different individuals who boast, friends to the end, Austin Miller on drums, Cliff Williams, bass and Eric VanZant, lead guitar, bring a melding of harmony, rock and a unique essence of soul searching to the stage and to their writing. Hailing from Kentucky, Seventh Time Down has managed to create a sound that draws from their southern rock roots, but also manages to infuse that gritty American sound with radio-friendly pop hooks and brit-rock-influenced anthems. This combination gives their music its own distinctively unique voice that will never be confused with anything else.

Wait for You
7eventh Time Down Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I 'm never giving up on You
Until the day You get back
I will wait for You
My days are numbered
But my heart is stronger
Until my bones collapse
I will wait for you
(Until my bones collapse

I will wait for You)

It's kinda like You got Your own ringtone
And I'm sittin' by the phone
Waiting for You to call
And say we're going home
Now let's roll

Until my bones collapse
I 'm never giving up on You
Until the day You get back
I will wait for You
My days are numbered
But my heart is stronger
Until my bones collapse
I will wait for you
(Until my bones collapse)
I will wait for You
(Until my bones collapse)
I will wait for You

And when it all comes down
It breaks my heart
That they don't believe

Until my bones collapse
Until my bones collapse
I 'm never giving up on You
Until the day You get back
I will wait for You
My days are numbered
But my heart is stronger
Until my bones collapse
I will wait for you
(Until my bones collapse)
I will wait for You

(Until my bones collapse)
I will wait for You
