In 2006, Number One Gun decided to move on to different projects despite their growing success. A recently posted Myspace bulletin cleared up the state of the band, stating that Schneeweis has a new band called The North Pole Project, Keene and Mallory formed Surrogate, and Sellers plays bass in Armed for Apocalypse.
However, when Schneeweis approached Tooth and Nail about signing his solo project, The North Pole Project, they wanted him to release the album under Number One Gun. So The North Pole Project became the album name instead. It was released on Tooth and Nail on January 15, 2008.
The band's following release, To The Secrets And Knowledge, was a continuation of the one-man project.
In June 2012, Jeff Schneeweis announced on his Twitter that he was developing a new song under the Number One Gun band name. Further posts on Twitter and Facebook revealed that the original lineup would be reuniting to write and record a new full-length album. In July 2012, the band launched a Kickstarter page to help fund their new album and subsequent tour. In addition, the band announced that Stephen Christian, lead singer of the band Anberlin, would collaborate and contribute vocals for at least one song on the album. The album, This Is All We Know, was made available on November 27, 2013, to fans who backed the Kickstarter project, and officially released on January 14, 2014, on Tooth & Nail Records.

Number One Gun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could you tell me that I am
The perfect one for you
You're the perfect one for me
Could you be too faithful?
Could you show me anymore?
It's the perfect thing to do
On and on I see you
The life that comes together
To see that we're forever
On and on I see you
The times we've spent together
The times that last forever
Could you be my answer?
Could you tell me that I am
The Perfect onefor you
you're the perfect one for me
On and on I see you
The life that comes together
To see that we're forever
On and on I see you
The times we've spent together
The times that last forever
And now we will find our way
It's the way that we'll find this day
And I know you belong to me
Could you lead me on?
Could you lead me on? ...
The lyrics of Number One Gun's song "On and On" are at their core about the search for love and companionship, and the idea that two people can be perfect for each other, providing strength and comfort through difficult times. The opening lines ask if the other person could be the answer that the singer has been searching for, and if they can confirm that they are the perfect match for each other. This theme is further explored in the chorus, with the repetition of the line "On and on I see you," which suggests a sense of constancy and continuity in their relationship, as well as a feeling of being together through good and bad times.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of vulnerability and openness, with the singer asking the other person to be faithful and to show them more of themselves. This willingness to be vulnerable is mirrored in the repeated phrase "The times that last forever," which speaks to the idea that moments of connection and intimacy can transcend time and remain with us for a lifetime. The song concludes with a question, asking if the other person will lead them on in their journey together, suggesting a desire for continued growth and exploration as a couple.
Overall, the lyrics of "On and On" are a heartfelt exploration of the search for love and the hope that comes with finding someone who is the perfect match for us.
