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.

There Tonight
Every Avenue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

The city lights are burning bright on that big Hollywood sign
You're probably sleeping in your east coast time
Man, what I'd give just to be there tonight

And I hear people getting high in the next room,
Talking about life and how we don't have a clue

I used to dream of making it in this town,

Now I'm dreaming of making it out

I'm sick of waking up alone,
'Cause I can't be home
All this pain from missing you,
It's just too strong
All I want is just to be there with you
Baby, it's true,
I'd give it all up for you
It's the least I could do

Another night I spend drinking with myself
And counting the channels in this rundown hotel
I just hide it, all the pain so no one knows
I'm talking to myself everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)

I used to say that I would never go back
And now I swear I'll never get the chance

I'm sick of waking up alone,
'Cause I can't be home
All this pain from missing you,
It's just too strong
All I want is just to be there with you
Baby, it's true,
I'd give it all up for you
It's the least I could do

The hardest part is
I could never give you what you needed
But just so you know,
A part of you will always be right here with me

Waking up alone,
'Cause I can't be home
And all this pain from missing you,
It's just too strong
All I want is just to be there with you
Baby, it's true, (Baby, it's true)

I'd give it all up for you
It's the least I could do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Every Avenue's song There Tonight express the pain of missing someone from afar while living a life that doesn't fulfill the dream. The first stanza highlights the contrast between the flashy city of Los Angeles and the emptiness the singer feels in a rundown hotel. He is imagining the person he's missing, and how it would be great to be with them at that moment. The second verse reveals the singer's loneliness and how he hides it from everyone. He talks to himself because he has nowhere else to go, and he longs to go back to where his heart is. The chorus repeats the sentiment of the first stanza, making it clear that the singer would give everything up to be with his love.
