KIDS
The Latency Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No ones listening.
Our hope's tied,
To everything you know you felt but never said,
Is burning through your eyes.
I'll help you find your self again tonight.
You say, "We'll get out this time."
Believe it, we're the kids of yesterday.
You say, "Help me out this time."
And you wait, put your hand in mine.
Believe it, we're the kids of yesterday.
Speak your mind,
'Cause I'll be listening.
On those long nights,
When everything you know you felt but never said,
Is burning through your eyes.
I'll help you find your self again tonight.
You say, "We'll get out this time."
And you wait, put your hand in mine.
Believe it, we're the kids of yesterday.
You say, "Help me out this time."
And you wait, put your hand in mine.
Believe it, we're the kids of yesterday.
So let's just go, do you feel alone?
You'll feel alone when the lights go out.
But you'll feel at home when everything you know you felt but never said,
Is burning through your eyes
I'll help you find your self again tonight.
You say, "We'll get out this time."
And you wait, put your hand in mine.
Believe it, we're the kids of yesterday.
You say, "Help me out this time."
And you wait, put your hand in mine.
Believe it, we're the kids of yesterday.
You say, "We'll get out this time."
And you wait, put your hand in mine.
We're the kids, we're the kids of yesterday.
We're the kids, we're the kids of yesterday.
Believe it, we're the kids.
Inside these walls, hope is just waiting to fall.

I remember seeing this band live in Edmonton around 2010 and I thought they were just so dynamic. If they can't make it I don't know who can. Man the music business is hard.

Omg! I'm so saddened by the thought of not seeing or hearing anymore music from these guys :( I love them so much, and their voices are amazing. They got all that going on on top of being gorgeous and down right hilarious. Latency, bring back the music, I'm wallowing here.

Brandon Lehti is making his own music. It's actually really good, you should check out his Bridges EP. Johnny Wiebe is the drummer of The Grand. Ryan Stead and Matthew Gendron didn't continue with music and are just living their lives
