"Savior"

                                                       

   (Verse 1)

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten

What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them

As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping

Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place

And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds

But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you

Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

(Chorus)

So tell me now

If this ain't love then how do we get out?

Because I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you boy

I just want to save you while there's still something left to save

That's when I told her I love you girl

But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

(Verse 2)

But the day pressed on like crushing weights

For no man does it ever wait

Like memories of dying days

That deafen us like hurricanes

Bathed in flames we held the brand

Uncurled the fingers in your hand

Pressed into the flesh like sand

Now do you understand?

(CHORUS)

(Bridge)

1000 miles away

There's nothing left to say

But so much left that I don't know

We never had a choice

This world is too much noise

It takes me under

It takes me under once again

I don't hate you

I don't hate you, no

(Chorus)

I don't hate you

I don't hate you, no

Simple Plan

At the beginning, two members of this band, Pierre Bouvier (bass and singer) and Chuck Comeau (drums) created a band when they were thirteen years old. That band had a puink style and its name was "Reset".
It was sort of famous and they played with other bands such as MxPx, Ten Foot Pole and Face to Face.
The first one to leave "Reset" was Chuck because he wanted to spend more time studying. Pierre tried to keep going on with "Reset" but the band wasn't as good anymore.
Not long after Chuch left the band, he decided to create a new band with his classmates, Sébastien Lefebvre i Jeff Stinco. The band was named Simple Plan, but they needed a singer.
Menwhile, Pierre left "Reset" and a friend of his, David Desrosiers, decided to continue with the band.
In a concert in Sugar Ray in Montreal, Pierre and Chuck met and he talked about the new band and also about how they needed a bass player and a singer. Pierre thought he could do both jobs so he decided to try play with them. Quickly he realised he couldn't sing and play bass properly at the same time so they decided to find another bass player and Pierre got to be the main singer in the band.


Around 2001 the signed a contract with Lava Records to record their firt CD: No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls with was released on March 2002. Famous singers helped them with their first CD (Good Charlotte, Blink-182...)
Their songs started to be in more films and a year later they released their second album: MTV Hard Rock Live with a acoustic version of their song "Crazy".
That was the beginning of an amazing music career which is still going on nowadays.
