about

There isn't a whole lot of story about this song.  Basically, the song is a map.  You should feel like you are at one point, walk aways, and then reach a destination.  It's about figuring out a path.  And whether you take a beaten down trail or the road less traveled, sometimes you end up in a place where lots of other folks end up as well.  And you know what?  That can be all right if you are willing to see it a certain way.  If you don't, then keep on traveling.  That's ok, too!  I still am.  For me, that's what this song is about.  It's not what it has to be about for you, though.
A few other things about this song worth saying:
It is one of the rare songs that was created out of a "jam" session.  I usually don't create or keep much, especially lyrically, from a jam session.  It's simply not how I work.  But this one did, and it stuck, and I'm happy for it and use it as proof that maybe I should jam more often!
It is a song that because of the chorus I dream of someday playing it in front of thousands of screaming fans.  Like a sea of people and faces all singing along at the same time at the top of their lungs.  Awesome.
Aaron, our cello player, sometimes calls this the best song ever written, and that he will kick anyone's ass that says otherwise.  Haha.  This is pressure I do not need!  I disagree with him, but I'm glad he likes it.  He also brought another fiery solo to this piece, and I think his bow sounds like a samurai blade. 

lyrics

This is going somewhere
I don't know where
Now I know where we stand
I can start making the plans

Rather move ahead
Than fall way back
Push aside all this tall, tall grass
The sand is old and marked by footsteps
I dip my toes in the water's edge

We are here, it ain't so bad
We are here, it ain't so bad
Come on in; the water's warm
