LYRICS
Oh, come and see the opening band
Now that you've got your tickets and beverages in hand
They look so tired
Sound uninspired
guitars are secondhand
'Cause no one likes an opening band

Nobody likes the opening band
Their set time's far too early and I've never heard of them
And chances are
They wont go far
Career is sure to end
'Cause no one likes an opening band

Oh unfamiliar things will make us nervous
But singing here for you gives me a purpose, so...

Take pity on the opening bands
'Cause no one came to see them
Except their mom and dad
But if you lend an ear and give them just one little chance..

You may just like the opening band.

Imagine opening for these guys and they sing this.

my mom was very creeped out by the white guy in the background so i said "ignore the white guy in the background and focus on the white guy in the foreground"

Ryan constantly looks like he’s got a grudge against someone in the audience
@ivybauer8863 5 years ago

I think its sweet that the audience waited until they finished before throwing banana peels at them. very considerate.

I personally identify as the awkward white thing that appears to be a stage hand

Why is no one talking about how impressive the "BAAAND" at the end was, so hard to pull of...

i really like how dallon’s style is theatrical. his songs mostly portray a story in a literal way. it’s like a song from broadway

Stands on drums while playing tambourine "Ooh yeah, this is big brain time."
@andyfitzgerald3202 3 years ago

Ryan is like, "Oh you want a tambourine? You want me to play the tambourine? Well I don't want to play the tambourine. But I'm going to play the tambourine. I'm going to be emo with my tambourine. There. How do you like that?"
@phroginahat496 4 years ago

I like how Dallon and Ryan had to walk up to that old lady and be like "Hey wanna play piano for our band in which the drummer will be throwing bananas at me on stage?" And she was just like: "Yeah seems legit."

Ryan always looks like he was forced to wear clothes. And he's always holding something food related.

damn that tree has vocals and that blueberry is good on the tambourine

WHY IS NOBODY APPRECIATING HIS VOCAL SKILLS LIKE HOW HE CAN CARELESSLY SWITCH BETWEEN NOTES ON POINT
