Moving On
Knock-Out Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't you see how much this means to me
I'm just trying to end it clean
But I can't do it behind the scenes
I've got to do this, do this
Gotta keep it movin', movin'
I've got to do this, do this
Gotta keep it movin', movin'
Can't you see how much this means to me
Trying to end it clean
But I can't do it behind the scenes
I've got to do this, do this
Gotta keep it movin', movin'
I've got to do this, do this
Gotta keep it movin', movin'
Summer's almost here
We're almost done I fear
We will not last
So I try to put it in my past
Can't you see how much this means to me
I'm just trying to end it clean
But I can't do it behind the scenes
I've got to do this, do this
Gotta keep it movin', movin'
I've got to do this, do this
Gotta keep it movin', movin'
Summer's almost here
We're almost done I fear




We will not last
So I try to put it in my past

I remember taking my lil brother to see these guys in the desert when they opened for voodoo glow skulls. Honesty one of my favorite shows ever. I wish I coulda seen them again one more time.

@xXMulisha13Xx

I remember seeing these guys at the Gilman in Berkley. After buying their album Let Go with their signiture saying don't shout out to play Free Bird they instantly became my favorite ska band. I saw them again last year at Warped Tour 2010 and got my second autograph and hung out with Angelo Moore from Fish Bone. When I come back from Afghanistan I definantly want to catch them in concert again

@BleedTheFreak1992
