==Lyrics==
[Intro]

Steady

[Verse 1]

Before this world starts up again

It's me and night

We wait for the sun

The kids and drunks head back inside

Well, there's lots of smart ideas in books I've never read

When the girls come talk to me, I wish to hell I had

[Pre-Chorus]

(Get up, get up) Turn the ignition

(Get up, get up) Fire up the system

Play my little part in something big

[Chorus]

I'll accept with poise, with grace

When they draw my name from the lottery

And they'll say, "All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice."

I'm the one who gets away

I'm a New Jersey success story

And they'll say, "Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand."

(They'll say)

[Verse 2]

Back when I was younger, I was someone you'd've liked

Got an old guitar I've had for years I'd let you buy

And I'll tell you something else that you ain't dying enough to know

There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes

[Pre-Chorus]
(Get up, get up) Dance on the ceiling
(Get up, get up) Boy, you must be dreaming
Rock on young saviour, don't give up your hopes

[Chorus]
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say, "All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice."
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say, "Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand."

[Bridge]
I have one last wish
And it's from my heart
Just let me down
Just let me down, easy

[Chorus]
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say, "All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice."
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say, "Lord, give me a chance to shake his hand."
(They'll say)

== Recording Details ==
Reflecting on Big Casio [[Jim Adkins]] said the song is "A loser anthem. Song about disgruntled burn-out dreams of success and what they would do with it." <ref>{{Citation|url=http://bbs.jimmyeatworld.com/blog/index.php|title=Band Blog|last=Jimmy Eat World|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012192957/http://bbs.jimmyeatworld.com/blog/index.php?varDay=all|archive-date=2007-10-12|date=2007-10-09|website=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Jimmy Eat World|access-date=2021-05-16|quote=10.09.07
vancouver, bc. day off. i was asked to write a blurb for journalists ( is "blurb" in the book?) about each of the songs. here is as concise as i can get about each tune without trampling on what you might make of it for yourself. we have never thought it was our job to explain songs. that is a rant for another time. but, after a few people asking me questions about the tunes and having really, really off base interpretations i thought it may be a good idea to at least point people in a closer direction. so, spoiler alert. i guess.

1. Big Casino-A loser anthem. Song about disgruntled burn-out dreams of success and what they would do with it.

2. Let It Happen-Always wanted to write an “I ain’t missing you”-- feigning strength as a defense song.

3.Always Be- about co-dependancy; vulnerability exploited.

4. Carry You-With distance and time, it becomes easier to invent qualities that may not have existed in a relationship. And to falsely believe those qualities could be included in a current version of the relationship.

5. Electable (Give It Up)-Frustration with the lack of intelligent political discourse in America. Why is attempting to polarize such an effective distraction from accountability?

6. Gotta Be Somebody’s Blues-A song about apathy. Oppression is an abstraction and thought of as someone else’s problem… until it’s you that finds yourself defending your rights.

7. Felling Lucky-A bar brawl song. Another loser anthem. yup.

8. Here It Goes-Know what is truly important to you. Don’t lose sight of that in the face of opportunity OR in the face of desperation.

9. Chase This Light-Becoming self-aware in the middle of a special experience. The “chase” is trying to find that feeling of discovery. of challange.

10. Firefight-Because it is new, everything is a big deal.

11. Dizzy-Unspoken awkwardness when two people are faced with their past.
