Before the band formed, Austin Winkler sang in an Oklahoma City cover band until July 2001,
when he met drummer Cody Hanson and guitarist Joe Garvey at a college party. Soon after meeting, the three formed Hinder and began performing at an Oklahoma City club called The Blue Note, building a local fan base. Profits from the shows went to advertising, as well as paying the expenses for the group's first release, an EP entitled Far from Close. The EP was released in 2003 on the independent label Brickden Records, and sold around 5,000 copies. Two years later, bassist Mike Rodden and rhythm guitarist Mark King joined the band. Winkler writes the majority of the band's music, along with drummer Cody Hanson.

1. LAST KISS GOODBYE
It's calming down outside
Another lonely night
You said you were just going out with your friends
I'm waiting up this time, I hope you didn't lie
It never used to be like this way back when
I never know where you're at
Another train off the tracks
And I don't want to live like that, no
When you walked in so damn late
What the hell was I supposed to think?
When you've had too much to drink, and you're really looking guilty
When you wouldn't even look at me
There's only one thing it could be, you were with him all this time
Here’s one last kiss goodbye
No more alibis, no more little lies
You’ve broken my trust and it can’t be fixed
I should’ve seen the signs
Should’ve recognized the way your lips looked like they’ve been kissed
How'd we end up like that?
Another train off the tracks
It always hurts looking back now
When you walked in so damn late
What the hell was I supposed to think?
When you've had too much to drink, and you're really looking guilty
When you wouldn't even look at me
There's only one thing it could be, you were with him all this time
Here’s one last kiss goodbye
Another lesson learned in life
And I keep asking myself why?
How'd we end up like that?
Another train off the tracks
It always hurts looking back now
When you walked in so damn late
What the hell was I supposed to think?
When you've had too much to drink, and you're really looking guilty
When you wouldn't even look at me
There's only one thing it could be, you were with him all this time
Here’s one last kiss goodbye

3. HOW LONG
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
How long till this goes away?
I try to remember to forget you
But I break down every time I do
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
I can't seem to get my heart over you
'Cause you creep into everything I do
And now I'm dyin' to know
How he touches you
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away? How long till this goes away?
She said, she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said, she said, she said, she's sorry
With one finger I said, fuck that
I can tell you're lyin' when your lips move
'Cause of one lie it's not me it's you
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away? How long till this goes away?
She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said, she said, she said, she's sorry
With one finger, with one finger, I said, "Fuck that"

4. TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT
[Eddie Money cover]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(1, 2, 3, 4)
I feel a hunger
It's a hunger that tries to keep a man awake at night
Are you the answer?
I shouldn't wonder when I can feel you with my appetite
With all this power you're releasing
It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone
Anticipation is what I'm feeling
Let's find the keys and turn this engine on
I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster (faster, faster)
And take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Its just like Ronnie sang
"Be my little baby"
I get frightened in all this darkness
I get nightmares and I hate to sleep alone
I need some company
A guardian angel to keep me warm when the cold wind blows!
I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster (faster, faster)
And take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Its just like Ronnie sang
"Be my little baby"
Be my little baby!
I feel a hunger
It's a hunger (hunger, hunger)
Whoa!
And take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey

6. LIPS OF AN ANGEL
[Songwriters: King, Mark; Howes, Brian; Rodden, Michael; Winkler, Austin; Hanson, Ross; Garvey, Lloyd;]
Honey why are you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why are you crying, is everything okay?
I gotta whisper ?cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And yes I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me?
Will it start a fight?
No I don't think she has a clue
Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why are you calling me so late?

7. NOTHIN' GOOD ABOUT GOODBYE
[Songwriters: King, Mark; Howes, Brian; Rodden, Michael; Winkler, Austin; Hanson, Ross; Garvey, Lloyd;]
Rolled up my sleeves today
'Cause I thought that this was over
But then you called to say
You forgot that broach of your mother's
And everytime I try to cut the cord
You come crawling back with some excuse
You forgot something
There's nothin' good about goodbye
I could swear I saw you cry
Always knew you'd wind up fa-falling, fa-falling harder
Nothin' good about goodbye, don't just say goodbye
Rolled up my sleeves today
'Cause I thought that this had ended
But then you called again
To tell me how you're gonna blow my best friend
And every time I try to cut the cord
You come crawling back with some excuse
You forgot something
There's nothin' good about goodbye
I could swear I saw you cry
Always knew you'd wind up fa-falling, fa-falling harder
Every story has two sides
In the he-said, she-said fight
But you'll always wind up fa-falling, fa-falling harder
Nothin' good about goodbye, don't just say goodbye
Fa-falling, fa-falling out of, you're falling apart
Fa-falling, fa-falling out of, you're falling apart
Fa-falling, fa-falling out of, you're falling apart
Fa-falling, fa-falling out of, you're falling apart
There's nothin' good about goodbye
I could swear I saw you cry
Always knew you'd wind up fa-falling, fa-falling harder
Every story has two sides
In the he-said, she-said fight
But you'll always wind up fa-falling, fa-falling harder
Nothin' good about goodbye, don't just say goodbye
There's nothin' good about goodbye
Just say goodbye
Fa-falling, fa-falling out of, you're falling apart
Fa-falling, fa-falling out of, you're falling apart
Fa-falling, fa-falling out of, you're falling apart

8. WITHOUT YOU
[Songwriters: Garvey, Lloyd; Hanson, Ross; Howes, Brian; King, Mark; Rodden, Michael; Winkler, Austin;]
I just wanna be alone tonight
I just wanna take a little breather
'Cause lately all we do is fight
And every time it cuts me deeper
'Cause something's changed
You've been acting so strange
And it's taking its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
Without you, I live it up a little more every day
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then but it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away, well, I never thought I'd say
I'm fine without you
Called you up 'cause it's been long enough
And you said that you were so much better
We have done a lot of growing up
We were never meant to be together
'Cause something changed
You were acting so strange
And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
Without you, I live it up a little more every day
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then but it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away, well, I never thought I'd say
I'm fine without you
'Cause something changed
You were acting so strange
And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
Whoa! Yeah!
Without you, I live it up a little more every day
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then but it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away, well, I never thought I'd say
I'm fine without you
Without you!
Without you!
Without you!
I just wanna be alone tonight
I just wanna take a little breather

9. USE ME
[Songwriters: Hanson, Ross; Hinder; Howes, Brian; Winkler, Austin;]
Yeah, alright now, on the top, top, top
She wouldn't spit on me if I was on fire
She says she loves me but I know she's a liar
The sex is good but God, she's got no desire
That's alright, she's taking me home tonight
She's kind of cold but yet she's hot on the outside
Last night got nasty and I'm still kind of tongue tied
I hate to say it but she brings out my sick side
That's alright, she's taking me home tonight
She's got whole lot of love
(Anyway you want it)
But it's never enough
(Finish what you started)
Take me to heaven above
(To leave me brokenhearted)
But I won't be a fool and fight it
She's gonna use me but I like it, yeah, yeah
I bet she's wondering if I'm worth her while
She's judge and jury and she's got me on trial
But I ain't sweating 'cause I'm first on the speed dial
Yeah, that's right, she's taking me home tonight
She always leaves and makes me feel kind of sleazy
It's kind of cool because she already pleased me
I'm lying here just thinking this is too easy
Yeah, that's right, she's taking me home tonight
She's got a whole lot of love
(Anyway you want it)
But it's never enough
(Finish what you started)
Take me to heaven above
(To leave me brokenhearted)
But I won't be a fool and fight it
She's got a whole lot of love
(Anyway you need it)
But I've run out of luck
(Now she says she's leavin')
Leaving me in the dust
(But that's okay, we're leavin')
But I won't be a fool and fight it
She's gonna use me but I like it
(Like it)
She's gonna use me but I like it, yeah, yeah
I think I'm gonna go with the safe bet this time
She's got a whole lot of love
(Anyway you want it)
But it's never enough
(Finish what you started)
Take me to heaven above
(To leave me brokenhearted)
But I won't be a fool and fight it
She's got a whole lot of love
(Anyway you need it)
But I've run out of luck
(Now she says she's leavin')
Leaving me in the dust
(But that's okay, we're leavin')
But I won't be a fool and fight it
And darling, I just can't deny it
Because you use me and I like it
(Like it)
Because you use me and I like it
(Like it)
Yeah, yeah, like it
(Like it)
Because you use me and I like it
(Like it)
Yeah, yeah
