"Here's To Moving On" lyrics

"Here's To Moving On"

I feel like I find something new
To remind me of you all the time
A picture, a hair band, a song
Or this cork from this bottle of wine
The click of the thermostat
Kicking off just when it's getting too warm
The drop in the pressure, the smell in the air
When it's starting to storm

And I hate to admit
That it's true
But I like that it hurts
When I do

Here's to fighting less
Here's to living more
Here's to feeling alive again
Here's to picking yourself off the floor
Here's to waking up
Here's to sleeping well for once
Here's to knowing the things that you wish you could change
Here's to saying you're fine when you're not
Here's to being right
Here's to being wrong
Here's to letting go
Here's to moving on

I stand in one place and just listen
And let myself feel how it sounds
A little bit hollow, a little bit hopeful
A little bit down
This house isn't empty exactly
It's settling down for the night
It's creaking and cracking
And it seems familiar, but doesn't feel right

All that time that it takes to let go
How could I be the last one to know?

Here's to fighting less
Here's to living more
Here's to feeling alive again
Here's to picking yourself off the floor
Here's to waking up
Here's to sleeping well for once
Here's to knowing the things that you wish you could change
Here's to saying you're fine when you're not
Here's to being right
Here's to being wrong
Here's to letting go
Here's to moving on

I'm getting up slowly, I'm still a bit spent
I'm still a bit tired
I feel a bit better this morning
Than I've felt in quite a long time
It's funny, I thought for a bit there
I'd never be able to deal
But I make some coffee
And I'll take a shower
And I start to heal

And I hate to admit that I can
But I like how it feels that I am

So here's to fighting less
Here's to living more
Here's to feeling alive again
Here's to picking yourself off the floor
Here's to waking up
Here's to sleeping well for once
Here's to knowing the things that you wish you could change
Here's to saying you're fine when you're not
Here's to being right
Here's to being wrong
Here's to letting go
Here's to moving on

"Here's To Moving On" is the lead single from Dashboard Confessional's 8th studio album "All The Truth That I Can Tell". The song was premiered on November 9, 2021.
"I think in this song I find myself understanding what brought me to the mat and what it takes to get up off the mat," Chris Carrabba said of the track. "Sometimes what brought you to the mat are outside forces and sometimes it's you, yourself. Or it can be all those things. But it does seem the only thing that gets you up off the mat isn't outside forces — it's always you."
