When asked about the meaning of the song, the band described it as such: “We love that song too. It was one of the last ones we wrote so it’s still fresh for us. I guess its kinda about getting older and people moving out of your life, and knowing that you’ll still be a part of each others lives forever? Its weird to write this stuff down.”

Lyrics
Now it’s been long enough to talk about it
I’ve started not to doubt it, just wrap my head around it
I remember when you told me it’s an everyday decision
But with my double vision, how was I supposed to see the way?
[Pre-Chorus]
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
[Verse 2]
Every city’s got a graveyard
A service bought and paid for
Now I’m sleeping in the backyard
Passing out as night turns into day
[Pre-Chorus]
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
[Bridge]
Go and stretch out my arms long as they need to be
Turn off all alarms and lie to me
Go and stretch out my arms long as they need to be
Turn off all alarms and lie to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?
