[Verse 1]
Tied flowers in the laces of my boots
This year drained the color from my mood
I took one too many beatings
I was left broken and bleeding
I woke up and covered up my bruise

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, hey, I feel it
Hey, hey, I know it
Hey, hey, I give myself

[Chorus]
A friendly reminder
Remember to smile
Remember the pain only lasts for a while
(Take it, take it all away)
Throw away the last two years in the past
I tell it to myself right now
A friendly reminder
(Take it, take it all away)

[Verse 2]
The next time that I'm feeling so damn low
Keep telling myself that I'm not alone
I, no, I couldn't take it
I woke up in a wasteland
I retraced my steps to get back home

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, hey, I feel it
Hey, hey, I know it
Hey, hey, I give myself

[Chorus]
A friendly reminder
Remember to smile
Remember the pain only lasts for a while
(Take it, take it all away)
Throw away the last two years in the past
I tell it to myself right now
A friendly reminder
(Take it, take it all away)

(Take it, take it all away)
(Take it, take it all away)

[Bridge]
Down the drain I climbed my way out
Let it rain down then
(Take it, take it all away)
Do your worst
I-I'll be alright
One day at a time

A friendly reminder
Remember to smile
Remember the pain only lasts for a while
(Take it, take it all away)

[Chorus]
A friendly reminder
Remember to smile
Remember the pain only lasts for a while
(Take it, take it all away)
Throw away the last two years in the past
I tell it to myself right now
A friendly reminder
(Take it, take it all away)

[Outro]
(Take it, take it all away)
(Take it, take it all away)
Throw away the last two years in the past
I tell it to myself right now
(Take it, take it all away)
Throw away the last two years in the past
I tell it to myself right now
(Take it, take it all away)

Against the Current is a Pop-Rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, that formed in 2011. It consists of lead singer Chrissy Costanza, guitarist/backing vocalist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri.

Initally, they began as a cover band, gaining popularity on YouTube. They set to release a debut EP, Infinity and an acoustic EP containing the same songs. After its unexpected success, the band applied the same formula; they released their EP Gravity and they followed it with an acoustic session with the same songs.

Against the Current’s sound fell more on the pop side of the spectrum when they were signed to Fueled By Ramen in 2015 and released their debut full album In Our Bones.
