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.
See You Later
Every Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So maybe I should take it?
I just hope you're listening
To everything I'm saying
I miss the long drives, the car rides
The bad fights, the good times
The way you make me feel
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
So quit your cryin'
And wipe the tears from your eyes
'Cause this is 'See you later'
I'm not into goodbyes
Watch the brake lights
As I leave your drive-way
The warm nights will stay beside me
No matter where I go
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
Watch the brake lights
As I leave your drive-way
The warm nights will stay beside me
No matter where I go
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
The lyrics to Every Avenue’s “Think of You Later” are a poignant reflection on the desire to hold on to a relationship that’s come to an end. The singer acknowledges that this might be their last chance to say what they need to say, begging the question of whether or not they will take it. They pine for the good times, the bad times, the long drives, and the car rides, wishing that everything they felt about the relationship and the person would never leave their mind. The singer admits that they will spend nights thinking of the person they’ve lost, alone in their empty room.
The closing of the song makes it clear that the singer is moving on even if it hurts, for them, “there are no goodbyes.” They do not have the luxury of saying goodbye, for they must leave and move forward in their life without looking back. The warm nights and memories from their past will stay with them even if they go elsewhere. The lyrics of this song leave an impression that comes across as honest and relatable, highlighting the challenges of moving on but also holding on to the past. It’s a powerful representation of the emotional toll relationships take on us as human beings.

This might be my last chance
I feel like this could be the last time for me to tell you how I feel
So maybe I should take it?
Perhaps I should seize this opportunity
I just hope you're listening
I wish you are paying attention to what I am saying
To everything I'm saying
To all the things I am expressing
I miss the long drives, the car rides
I long for the times we spent driving together
The bad fights, the good times
Even the arguments we had are memories I treasure
The way you make me feel
The emotions you make me experience
Will never leave my mind
Will never be forgotten by me
Think of you later in my empty room
I will reminisce about you later in my unoccupied space
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
When I am by myself, drifting off to a slumber
So quit your cryin'
Stop weeping
And wipe the tears from your eyes
Dry your tears
'Cause this is 'See you later'
Because this is not a goodbye forever, but just for now
I'm not into goodbyes
I do not like to say farewell
Watch the brake lights
Observe the brake lights on my vehicle
As I leave your drive-way
As I drive away from your property
The warm nights will stay beside me
The memories of warm, intimate summer evenings with you will always be with me
No matter where I go
No matter my destination
