Long Since Forgotten recorded their first full length album "All The Things You Said..." in late 2001 with Ed Rose (The Get Up Kids, Reggie and the Full Effect, Ultimate Fakebook, The Appleseed Cast, Coalesce, and The Casket Lottery). With that record complete, Long Since Forgotten signed with Rocketstar Recordings and released "All the Things You Said..." in the summer of 2002. The album art is picture of a small tabletop jukebox from Cosmo's Restaurant, located on Marshall Street on the Syracuse University campus.
Touring relentlessly since recording "All The Things You Said...", Long Since Forgotten has continued to win over fans across the country. Two East Coast tours in June 2002 and October 2003, three full U.S. tours - September 2002, April to June 2003 and January to April 2004 - as well as countless weekend tours of the North East have helped to establish Long Since Forgotten as one of the industry's most promising up-and-coming rock bands.
During June of their Spring 2003 tour, Long Since Forgotten recorded their second full-length for Rocketstar Recordings at Blacklodge Studios, again working with Ed Rose. Now more mature in song writing and more cohesive as a group, Long Since Forgotten felt these sessions had produced their best work to date. The 13 track album, titled "Standing Room Only," was released on January 27th 2004. With support from Earshot Media and McGathy Radio Promotions as well as Long Since Forgotten's endless touring and Street Team activity, "Standing Room Only" debuted at #54 on the CMJ top 200 one week prior to its release, and has found its way into the hearts of thousands of fans, new and old, from all over the country.
Long Since Forgotten's constant touring schedule in support of "Standing Room Only" included a full U.S. Tour in July and August as well as international dates in Mexico and Japan.
In late 2007, the group released its fourth LP, The Theft (EVO Records) which was issued in Japan before seeing a release in the United States. This was the their last release before disbanding in 2009.

Waiting for You
Long Since Forgotten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're scaring me when you scream
"I don't care if I crash this thing tonight,
a sudden stop is something like a change".
I'm reinventing this and other nights.
Faster won't mean your safer, you'll only run so far.
Big risks won't make this go away.
You're begging for more distance between the place
They're waiting for you. So don't stop, just keep moving.
You're almost home, where you'll be safe inside
for one more night alone.
Close your eyes and make this night just end.
It doesn't matter where you're going.
It doesn't matter how fast you drive.
It doesn't matter, when you get there, they're waiting for you.
The lyrics to Long Since Forgotten's "Waiting for You" can be interpreted as a plea for the singer to slow down and not take unnecessary risks. The lyrics highlight the danger in taking big risks and how it won't really make the problems go away. The singer is urged to keep moving, seeking distance from their past in the hopes of finding a safe place to call home. There is also an element of fear, as the singer's reckless driving is scaring the singer.
The lyrics can also be seen as a commentary on the idea of running away from one's problems. The singer is urged to slow down and face their issues head-on instead of aimlessly driving away. The repetition of "they're waiting for you" emphasizes that no matter how fast or far the singer goes, they cannot escape their past. The line "Close your eyes and make this night just end" suggests that the singer may be trying to escape a difficult situation, but ultimately they need to confront it instead of running away.
Overall, "Waiting for You" is a powerful and emotive song that encourages listeners to confront their problems instead of running away from them.
