i know this is years late but here are the lyrics!!

Some day you will grow up and learn to lie
Just like your daddy did when he told you no one ever really dies
I hope that I'm not there when you realize
That those with their nose in the air will never look you in the eye

And you will go toe to toe
Like David and Goliath
Who will be Goliath?
And will you throw the stone?
I don't know yeah I don't know
Said the man with all of the answers
If he don't have the answers
How will I ever know?

I knew an old man
With nothing to do but wait
He invited himself
And he still showed up late

When it came to the end of the night he would always overstay
But I never had a reason to complain
Until the day he stopped coming by and I missed his company

And you will go toe to toe
Like David and Goliath
They will be Goliath
And you will throw the stone
I don't know yeah I don't know
Said the man with all of the answers
If he don't have the answers
How will I ever know?

And I don't care
What you do with the little time everyone gets
As long as you do the math, choose a path that will never hurt anyone else
Although they'll hurt you make them sure they burned you
They will not forget

Someday I will find you and stop on by
And you'll say how have you been, and I'll say I've been fine
We will both know that it's a lie
Turns out what I figured out is I was wrong and you were right

And you will go toe to toe
Like David and Goliath
They will be Goliath
And you will throw the stone
I don't know yeah I don't know
Said the man with all of the answers
If he don't have the answers
How will I ever know?

My friend Joe passed away from an overdose a few days ago. This was the last song he recommended to me before he passed. I never listened to it before it happened . Never take the people who you care about for granted. I hope you find peace in death, Joe. I'll remember the fun we had together forever.

Essentially, Tomas is Streetlight. They swap out other players, but without him, it just wouldn't be them. I'm so glad he decided to do solo stuff; it also lets him showcase his genius lyrics.

@declanmcdad2447

and that's alright. c: Everyone has their own opinion. And besides, it's two different types of sound. Toh Kay just has a really calm, soft tone to it. Streetlight has a more upbeat tone to it, and it's not acoustic and whatnot. o: I could totally understand if someone preferred one over the other c:

What would be my copyright situation if I wanted to put If Only For Memories in a video? Would I technically have to buy it, or is this music unpublished?

@randyhalle2685

8y↑2

It is "published" or copyrighted for a certainty. How much you could be sued for would depend on a lot of things, mainly how much profit you made from stealing it. Would you like toh kay to keep making music? If so help him get payed for it, don't be a theif. I realize the hypocrisy is that I am listening to it from am unofficial source myself, but my conscience is clean because I own every record with his name on it he ever released. Go to a show, buy a CD and maybe just try asking him if you can use it.

@jackando9762

7y↑11

Toh Kay is actually involved in a legal dispute with Victory Records who control all the recordings for Toh and the other affiliated projects, so they havent made any money off of music sales in years and the band members highly encourage the illegal downloading of their music. If you want to support the band go buy their merch off of the Streetlight Manifesto website. Otherwise your moneys all going to the record company and the bands see none of it

@mikemcglasson1286

To use a song in a video, you must purchase the rights/license to use it. This is often much more expensive than just buying the song for listening purposes

@escivencain8653

Anyone know were I can get a physical copy of this song?

@thewickets1

3y↑3

There was a huge dispute between Thomas and the record label when this was released so there is no physical version. I believe there was a pre order of sorts open before the album released and he was forced to refund but also sent out blank toh kay discs for people to burn the album on.
