So Long Soldier Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back in '95
A little boy from just outside of London
Took a fated trip across the ocean
Little did he know
That he would find his voice in verse and chorus
Making wishes on his broken stereo

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't shake the noise from his bones
Hear it all play out in distant echoes

[Chorus]
So long, soldier
Cruise controller
Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
And come down to voice a generation

[Verse 2]
Late 2005
The boy's got plans as crazy as his friends
They take their chances driving West alone
Give him six more years
And see what time will do for hopeless dreamers
Singing wishes to their broken stereo

See All Time Low Live

Get tickets as low as $74

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't shake the noise from their bones
Hear it all play out in distant echoes

[Chorus]
So long, soldier
Cruise controller
Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
And come down to voice a generation
So long, soldier
Cruise controller
Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
And come down to voice a generation

About

All Time Low wrote “So Long Soldier” as a tribute to their roots which is why the chorus is reminiscent of “Circles”, the fifth song on the classic The Party Scene album. Notice how this song is also the fifth song on this album.

The song mainly focuses on Alex Gaskarth moving to America when he was just a little boy living in London and the band traveling in the tour van when they were nobodies.
