Story Behind The Song

Benji Barton: "Octane Lovers was inspired by a conversation I had with my mother before she died from cancer. She urged me to sieze my aspirations passionately before the opportunity slips by - while I'm young and able to do so. My mom was the one who taught me to play music. I consider this song one of my best - this is my testiment to her.

Song Description

Octane Lovers is about pursuing your dreams while you've still got the chance. Time is precious, they say.

Lyrics

So why did you have to ask: "What if it doesn't last?"
When we love to live so fast.
So give your boys a kiss, it's not us that they'll miss
But the car we're taking there.

Wouldn't you love to chase it while we're still young?
Running like octane lovers while we're still young.
Wouldn't you love to chase it while we're still young?
Running like octane lovers.

So breathe in the cigarettes, the gasoline sunsets
And the time we'll soon forget
And now we can begin living a careless abandon
Survival's not the plan. Just speeding.

Wouldn't you love to chase it while we're still young?
Running like octane lovers while we're still young.
Wouldn't you love to chase it while we're still young?
Running like octane lovers.

Who could know it? The wheel comes right off in your hands.
You try to slow it - the pedal's gone, the thing is jammed.
The speed - it shakes us, going over objects
Floating hopeless, brakeless.
The final words were not worth noting.

Wouldn't you love to chase it while we're still young?
Running like octane lovers while we're still young.
Wouldn't you love to chase it while we're still young?
Running like octane lovers.
