I chose, "To Have Heroes", to be that name. This is my "project". Over the past eight years of my life I've become friends with some incredible musicians. Some live in Tulsa, some in Austin, Nashville, and New York. Oh yeah, and one lives in American Idol. To Have Heroes is my way of beginning to see what I sound like with the help of all of these different "musically inclined" friends. Right now I'm writing and recording some new songs, and maybe hanging on to a few old ones. There will be new music very soon so please keep checkin' in. I hope you dig it, if not, go somewhere else.

Dont Give Up On Us
To Have Heroes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay until the morning and maybe you'll forget
Try hard to remember how we were when we first met
Is that feeling still there, a part of you?
Must still care

So don't give up on us quite yet
I know right now it hurts, but don't believe the part of you that says it just won't work
What we had back then is still enough

So don't give up on us
Don't give up on us

All these memories, they sting
Nothing left to hold on to
Like a firework on New Year's Day, but we never light the fuse
There used to be so much to say, now we're just passing through the days
Trying hard to get it back

So don't give up on us quite yet
I know right now it hurts, but don't believe the part of you that says it just won't work
What we had back then is still enough
So don't give up on us

I hate the hard times too
But I know I belong right here with you
Please believe that too

Don't give up on us quite yet
I know right now it hurts, but don't believe the part of you that's had enough

Don't give up on us quite yet
I know right now it hurts, but don't believe the part of you that says it just won't work
What we had back then is still enough
So don't give up on us

So don't give up on us
So don't give up on us
Don't give up on us

Stay until the morning, and maybe you'll forget…
