Defining Moment - Lesson In Romantics (Lyrics)

One of the two bands that merged to form Mayday Parade. The three members that left this band to start Mayday Parade were Derek Sanders, Jeremy Lenzo, and Brook Betts. As Defining Moment they toured continuously and sold over 10,000 copies of their self titled EP. This song is from that EP, they had a few other demos. (I obviously chose this song due to Mayday's first Album being named after it.)
The other two members (In the picture) Austin and Rucker then went on to get new members and start We Are Action, which then broke up. Both played for Stages & Stereos, until recently when Rucker was replaced. After listening to both Defining Moment and Kid Named Chicago and learning about the bands, it is easy to understand why Mayday Parade has done so well.
**I had to write the lyrics out myself, so they might not be 100% accurate**
__________________________
I tried to keep from hurting you
I held back what I had to say
But you think you deep
And you'd like to think that you're killing me
Its to easy to speak your mind
Let me speak mine
I will try
To be patience with your lines
About our communication
Its failing
I smile and nod
Say "lets work this out together
When in truth I'd so much rather
Be alone
Don't ask me if I'm alright
I'm the same as the last time
Your lying lips were so tight
Now my shoulders think its over
Its just that I can't take it
When you think that I'm thinking
Don't answer me of leaving
Relax baby, don't be crazy
If change were not the same you know
Some things can't be saved I know
That you're just trying
To be kind and save and my face
But you'll know its not the same
That is what binds you to me
I will try
To be patience with your lines
About our communication
Its failing
I smile and nod
Say "lets work this out together
When in truth I'd so much rather
Be alone
Don't ask me if I'm alright
I'm the same as the last time
Your lying lips were so tight
Now my shoulders think its over
Its just that I can't take it
When you think that I'm thinking
Don't answer me of leaving
Relax baby, don't be crazy
You've turned into what I once was to you
You've turned into what I once was to you
Into what I once was to you
Into what I once was to you

So i just read your description. I didn't know Austin & Rucker came from Defining Moment. I can't believe all the ties between KNC, DM, MP, and Stages & Stereos. Did they just shuffle until they settled? Mind blown.

holy hell i feel like i just found a shrine on youtube this is ancient damn, haha, so wonderful to see the change

[@cheeseonyomama]

awesome! Mayday's latest album sounds like an evolution of this. I like it!

If I'm not mistaken the guy on the far left is Austin Davis from Stages and Stereos. Also I think he's part of We Are Action. All great bands! Wish I could get my hands on a copy of the Save It For Sunrise EP!

[@dreamXwithXyerXheart]

You should upload all the defining moment songs from the ep! Please! :D

[@NicoleG675]

Was there a physical version of this EP? (I'm guessing yes as 10/11 years ago downloads weren't massive) ?

[@tylerbentson7314]

Does anyone know where I can download any of their stuff?
