about

This is the first single from Here's To The Heroes new album "American Lights"

"After the Rain is definitely one of the most mature songs we've ever written as a band. It's a song about acceptance and a realization I had when I looked up from my dollar beer at the same bar I've been going to for the past 4 years with all the same people I've been around since high-school, and just sort of realized that I hadn't grown on a personal level in years. It was like I just woke up for the first time in years. All the numbness and emptiness was gone and it was time to move on.
Doing the exact same thing for 8 years put me in a waking coma. Just going through the motions. I felt a grim determination that night. I'm not 18 anymore. I don't know, I guess I just grew up." - Cory Behm

lyrics

It's hard to survive the winters here.
the ground cracks beneath our feet keeping track of all our years
All the kids from high school are getting too old to ever leave
They'll never think about the world outside and the places they'll never see

Summer's over and I'm ready for the rain

It's going to pour down tonight on the Westside.
Spending all our time in each others' cars
counting neon budlight signs
growing up means
accepting certain facts
the past is gone
and it's never coming back

It was my first Sunday morning
and we were sick from all the drinks we drank last night
I only asked for you to stay with me a while
but you just sighed and said
"We'll be eaten alive here if we don't get out you can't beat this town... you can just survive and I'm not ready to die here"

It takes a lot of hope and a lot of tears
to move on, to move on
It takes a lot of hope and a lot of tears
to move on, so move on
It took a lot of hope and a lot of years
but we moved, we moved on

I saw that look in your eye
that said "Save me I'm too tired to just survive"
