about

Our most coveted single, 43rd Street was written about an epiphany of a truly transitional time in our lives. The album art, which was actually taken during this event, provides answers, as well as questions, about the song's themes, and will hopefully make listening to the song more personal for you. We want to include all of you in this experience so we have provided this song for free. Enjoy and, as always, your feedback is welcomed.

True love,
ACA

lyrics

Red cups are stacked like walls, indicating a summer scene
The kids are lining up because the drinks taste better free
The party’s heating up, but outside it’s getting dark
Drunk kids are like elephants and alcoholic sharks

The party’s winding down, and the people start to leave
The moon is bleeding white onto the water underneath
That water’s all we see; we’ve got sand between our toes
Anticipation builds as the horizon starts to glow

As the moon sank and brought the sunrise
The ocean rose up to swallow all that we knew
As I stood there with moonlight in my eyes
I start to realize what the sunrise means to me

We stand on the edge of something that we have never seen
Reflecting on our past like the light from off the sea
Our future’s closing fast; we barely have the time to think
But we’re clinging to our past down by the oranges and the pinks

As the moon sank and brought the sunrise
The ocean rose up to swallow all that we knew
As I stood there with moonlight in my eyes
I start to realize what the sunrise means to me

At the risk of ruining the moment
If I may, I’d like to make a toast
Here’s to the nights we won’t forget
And the nights they can’t remember
Face to face with the impossible sunset
That we see but they don’t know

As the moon sank and brought the sunrise
The ocean rose up to swallow all that we knew
As I stood there with new light in my eyes
I start to realize what the sunset means to me
