Giving their brand of euphoric rock a sharper, slicker edge, Every Avenue explores themes of lust, temptation and self-acceptance on new album Bad Habits' 10 driving tracks, solidifying their place in the next breed of strong contenders in pop rock. Their third full-length sees the band lacing their infectious melodies with a glimpse of a darker side, embracing their next phase with the passion of a band truly defining their sound and making it their own.
Making their mark through hard work, the stunning vocal stylings of singer Dave Strauchman and an unfaltering belief in their brand of quality rock tunes, the Motor City five-piece has exploded from hometown shows to international success in a few short years. The band has been a staple on the rock circuit since 2004, clocking up tours with All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Metro Station and Hey Monday, and was featured in Alternative Press' Most Anticipated Albums 2011. The band's single "Tell Me I'm A Wreck" was in high rotation on Sirius Hits 1, with several weeks appearance on the 20 on 20 chart in fall 2010, and the poignant video resonated with fans worldwide, picking up airplay on MTV2 and was named Kerrang! TV's Video Of The Week. With an entire summer of Vans Warped Tour in front of them, Every Avenue stands defiant, a stable of killer tracks under their belts, poised to take Bad Habits to new heights.
For Always Forever
Every Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're losing sunlight so we head downtown
To Woodward off Charlotte Street
The old place that we used to meet
We were young and we lived it up
But those nights never lasted long enough
Looking back we're so naive
If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh it feels so good
To say
Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
For always, forever
Weathered yellow still frames in my head
For always, forever
The sun rise would beat us to sleep
We didn't wanna go home so slept on the beach
Oh the summer never felt so sweet
I still feel the sand in underneath my feet
Memories of the nights that faded
I don't know how the hell we made it
Looking back we had everything
Those were the days when we shared our dreams
If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh it feels so good
To say
Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
For always, forever
The secondhand kiss of a summer night
For always, forever
Even though some time has passed and we've gone our separate ways
No matter how far apart we'll always have our memories
If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh it feels so good
To say
Oh it feels so good
Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
For always, forever
Endless copper street lamps on my mind
For always, forever
At Woodward off Charlotte Street

We had each other and those special moments, which made us feel like we had everything we needed.
The secondhand kiss of a summer night
The feeling of a summer night's kiss has become secondhand, something we remember but can never fully relive.
Even though some time has passed and we've gone our separate ways
Even though our lives have taken different paths and we're not as close as we used to be...
No matter how far apart we'll always have our memories
...we'll always have those memories to hold onto and reminisce about, no matter how far apart we become.
Endless copper street lamps on my mind
The image of the city streets at night, lit up by the orange glow of the street lamps, is forever ingrained in our minds.
