I can't imagine all the people that you know
|
And the places that you go
|
When the lights are turned down low..
|
And I don't understand all the things you've seen
|
But I'm slipping in between you and your big dreams..
|
It's always you, in my big dreams..
|
|
And you tell me that it's over,
|
That I can't stand here in a patch of four leaf clover..
|
And you're restless, and I'm naked,
|
You've gotta get out, you can't stand to see me shakin'..
|
No, could you let me go?
|
|
And you don't wanna be here in the future,
|
So you see, the present's just a pleasant interruption to the past..
|
And you don't wanna look much closer,
|
Cuz you're afraid to find out all this hope
|
You had sent into the sky by now had crashed..
|
And it did, because of me..
|
|
And then you bring me home
|
Afraid to find out that you're alone, oh
|
And I'm sleeping in your living room..
|
But we don't have much room to live..
|
|
And I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar,
|
Maybe cross the country, become a rock star..
|
And there was hope in me that I could take you there,
|
But dammit, you're so young..
|
Well, I don't think I care..
|
And if I hurt you, then I'm sorry,
|
It's just this guilt has got the best of me..
|
|
And then you'd bring me home
|
Cuz we both know what it's like to be alone, oh
|
And I'm dreaming in your living room..
|
But we don't have much room to live..
|
|
And Konstantine is coming down the stairs
|
Doesn't she look good, standing in her underwear?
|
And I've been thinking, well I've been thinking, no
|
That she's been drinking, and it doesn't get me anywhere..
|
|
And Konstantine came walking down the stairs
|
All that I could do was touch her long, blonde hair..
|
And I was thinking, what I was thinking, no
|
We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere..
|
|
This is because I can spell confusion with a K, it's hard to like it
|
It's to dying in another's arms, and why I had to try it..
|
It's to Jimmy Eat World, and those nights in my car
|
But this time I'm alone, and I don't see those stars..
|
I'm not your star..
|
Isn't that what you said what you thought this song meant?
|
You thought this song meant..
|
|
If this is what it takes
|
To lie in my mistakes..
|
And live with what I did to you,
|
And all the hell I put you through..
|
I always catch the clock
|
It's 11:11, and now you wanna talk..
|
It's not hard to dream you'll always be my Konstantine..
|
|
They'll never hurt you like I do..
|
No, they'll never hurt you like I do..
|
No, no, no no no no no no..
|
|
This is to a girl who got into my head
|
With all these pretty things she did..
|
Hey, baby, you know that you keep me up in bed..
|
|
It's to a girl who got into my head
|
With all these fucked up things I did..
|
Hey maybe, baby, you could keep me up in bed..
|
|
My Konstanine,
|
Spinnin' around me like a dream..
|
We played out on this movie screen..
|
And I said,
|
Did you know I missed you?
|
Did you know I missed you?
|
Did you know I missed you?
|
Did you know I missed you?
|
Did you know I miss you?
|
Did you know I miss you?
|
Did you know I miss you?
|
|
God, I miss you..
|
|
And then you bring me home
|
And we'll go to sleep, but this time not alone, no, no..
|
And you'll kiss me in your living room, oh
|
And you see, no, that I've been missing in my living room..
|
Cuz it's all you, and this is what I miss, what I miss..
|
|
We don't have much room..
|
I said, Does anybody really need that room?
|
Because we all need a little bit of room to live..
|
|
My Konstantine..
|
