about

Each verse represents a band member's personal story of how we found this community, and what it has come to mean to us.

Special thanks:
A. A. Milne (1882-1956), whose poem “Now We Are Six” (Methuen & Co. Ltd, 1927) inspired the whimsy and sincerity behind this song.

lyrics

On a lonely summer day
Back in Altus, Oklahoma
Just a click, took a trip
Went somewhere new
Where I met all of you

I don’t mean to brag
But this is the eleventeenth
Time we’ve died
I don’t mean to bring you down
(Down)

When we were six
We thought we were clever
And we thought we’d be six
For ever and ever

Springtime, ROTC jock at nerd school
Sky high in Golden, Colorado
PMV surprised me, showed me how to lie
Fandom's getting better all the time, kid

I don't want to whine
But this is the twentieth draft we've trashed
I don't think it's fine at all
(Fine)

Now that we’re seven
We’re actually clever
And I think we’ll be seven
For ever and ever

On a lonely, sweaty day
Back at Camp Foster, Okinawa
Feeling Stressed, over-dressed, and a bit depressed
Party of One showed what I missed

It’s always overtime
And I don’t think I’ve got another rhyme
I’m sorry, I don’t got the time

And when we’re eight
We’ll finally be clever
And I think we’ll be great
For ever and ever
