When the street lights on I know it's time to go home Dinner on the table at 6 Or maybe half past 4 Stay up all night Listening to cars drive Wake up to a breakfast for champs From the back of my nanna’s hand Be by my side Before we run out of time I’ve opened my eyes With no time to figure it out We’ll be alright If we hold on to life I’ve opened my mind With no time to figure it out We got older With no time to figure it out We got older With no time to figure it out Get in the car it’s time to go Got my DS and radio I’m on chapter 5 not long to go Pull in the driveway and I know Dinners on the table at 6 Never gonna be like this again Wish it was never not like this Wake up to a breakfast for champs From the back of my nanna’s hand Cause dinners on the table at 6 Never gonna be like this again Wish it was never not like this Wake up to a breakfast for champs From the back of my nannas hand Be by my side Before we run out of time I’ve opened my eyes With no time to figure it out We’ll be alright If we hold on to life I’ve opened my mind With no time to figure it out Be by my side Before we run out of time I’ve opened my eyes With no time to figure it out We’ll be alright If we hold on to life I’ve opened my mind With no time to figure it out

Sun showers Washing down on me I got these sun showers Washing down on me Bittersweet, hard times keep creeping on me But I’m never beat it’s either one or the other I got this melody That’s always stuck inside my mind but I don’t mind I’m running out of time Sun showers Washing down on me I got these sun showers Washing down on me Bittersweet, hard times keep creeping on me But I’m never beat, it’s either one or the other I got this melody That’s always stuck inside my mind, but I don’t mind I’m running out of time

about

Here's what the band have to say...

Brax:
What dusk&dawn means to me is a journey of realization. Throughout this album I discovered a lot about our sound and identity as artist. Each song on this album portrays a character we all relate to some way or another. As for our sound, I feel like nothing really changed, we just grew. And we'll continue to grow with more albums, more songs, and more journeys under this one of a kind sun.

Tyler:
dusk&dawn represents the duality of life: good and bad, life and death, and happiness and sadness. It is the contrast between the two that helps you appreciate and provide the context for the parts of life that you cherish, which is a never ending cycle just like the rising and falling of the sun.

Callum:
This record draws upon the idea that there is no good without the bad, no success without failure, no friendship without hardship... as there is no dawn before the dusk. dusk&dawn encapsulates the time between the sun setting and the sun rising to symbolise the closing of one chapter and the opening of a new beginning.
