The Sunstreak, based out of Rochester NY is comprised of Jason Sarkis (bass), Tony Rebis (vocals), Jack Flynn (guitar, vocals), Gary Foster (drums), and David Schuler (guitar, synth, vocals). The Sunstreak has released their self-titled and self produced debut full length on B and W Records. The band has hit the ground running since the Summer of 2006 on the Vans Warped Tour, selling just over 25,000 records in 2 months and leading them to be the second band in history to post on the Billboard charts without a distribution deal (notably #33 on the Top Independent albums as well as #30 in overall Heatseakers.) With the tail end of 2006 just around the corner, The Sunstreak show no signs of slowing down, look for them in a city near you.

For What It's Worth
The Sunstreak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breaking down the walls
We've been climbing from the start
I knew this would be hard
And I don't know
Where I should go now
I don't know what to say today
And nothing is okay
For what its worth I'm sorry
For what its worth I'm wrong
Tonight will never let us in
Forget about our love
For what its worth I'm sorry
For what its worth I'm wrong
Yeah

Beating myself up
Breaking myself down again
Cuz everywhere I look
(You still do it)
I know it wasn't right
Your heart has turning its back on me
Welcome to my life
Yeah

For what its worth I'm sorry
For what its worth I'm wrong
Tonight will never let us in
Forget about our love
For what its worth I'm sorry
For what its worth I'm wrong
Yeah

Someone told me you said
Everything was okay
When I look into our eyes
Your eyes are black as night
Believe me when I tell you
And listen to each word
There's nothing else to say

For what its worth I'm sorry
For what its worth I'm wrong
Tonight will never let us in
Forget about our love
For what its worth I'm sorry




For what its worth I'm wrong
Yeah

Pleading to be heard
