Free, alone.
The predawn white light's coming on.
Bottle on the night stand.
I count disasters on my free hand now.
Run for cover there's a big one coming.
You'll be lucky if you're at ground zero.
You'll be lucky if it's got your number.
No one said that this life was easy.
Did that no one ever live a life this hard?
It gets hard.
The bills are scattered in the yard.
Ashtray monument.
A life spent waiting in cement.
After all, it's not that bad.
I still have pictures.
I look back at all the things that we once did.
You said, "I love you."
I guess you did.
Remember our life.
I did the dishes while you read out loud.
Best friends, strangers now.
Were our kids all we could call common ground

Jawbreaker è stata una band punk americana proveniente da San Francisco, California, attiva dal 1988 al 1996. I membri Blake Schwarzenbach (voce e chitarra), Adam Pfahler (chitarra) e Chris Bauermeister (basso) si sono conosciuti a Los Angeles, dove hanno frequentato la stessa scuola superiore, e poi a New York City, all'università. La band ha sempre mantenuto un forte spirito DIY, gestendo autonomamente la propria attività. Jawbreaker è considerata una delle band più influenti del movimento emo-punk degli anni '90, grazie al loro sound caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi introspettivi e un'energia live intensa. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Save Your Generation", "The Boat Shows", e "Condition Oakland". L'album "24 Hour Revenge Therapy" (1994) è considerato uno dei capolavori del genere emo-punk.
