    Lyrics:
    I wish I could, but I can't rest as easy as you.
    I never really could anyway.
    And thoughts of the future make me worry.
    Heart, settle down!
    This isn't your last day.
    You'll wake up tomorrow.
    This bedroom never gets to see the light of day.
    The shades are always drawn completely
    and it only ever seems to come alive at night.
    I took you here to take you from yourself once.
    And you smiled at me.
    You smiled shamelessly and often then.
    But it wasn't enough.
    I read your thoughts like sifting through your cabinets while you were out of the room.
    I stole every treasured thought that you had and left you gutted when I could find no more.
    You had poems written on the roof of your mouth.
    And I had scraped them out with the tip of my tongue and spat them onto the floor,
    where they dried up and blew away.
    And the butterflies in your stomach were all pinned to the skin on the inside.
    And if didn't love you then, I love you now.
    But it's easy to love something when there's pain in its eyes.
    This isn't your last day, you'll wake up tomorrow.
    This isn't your last day, you'll wake up tomorrow.
    So I pull the shades back, let the light pour in through every crack I slammed into the window.
    Will the good parts stay in limbo?
    Why can I only remember when you said you'd love me better if I left?
    And not the way you said, a thousand times, that if I left you'd die?

    This song literally makes me want to cry.. It reminds me a lot of explosions in the sky musically but with awesome vocals thrown in. Love you ALLB!

      I thought Explosions in the Sky when I heard it too! Immediately became my favorite.

    It's not music I relate to, but the tone is definitely satisfying. I love these vocals too, and the sound is just euphoric! ALLB!!!

    LYRICS:
    I wish I could, but I can't rest as easy as you.
    I never really could anyway.
    And thoughts of the future make me worry.
    Heart, settle down!
    This isn't your last day.
    You'll wake up tomorrow.
    This bedroom never gets to see the light of day.
    The shades are always drawn completely and it only ever seems to come alive at night.
    I took you here to take you from yourself once.
    And you smiled at me.
    You smiled shamelessly and often then.
    But it wasn't enough.
    I read your thoughts like sifting through your cabinets while you were out of the room.
    I stole every treasured thought that you had
    And left you gutted when I could find no more.
    You had poems written on the roof of your mouth.
    And I had scraped them out with the tip of my tongue
    And spat them onto the floor,
    Where they dried up and blew away.
    And the butterflies in your stomach were all pinned to the skin on the inside.
    And if didn't love you then, I love you now.
    But it's easy to love something when there's pain in its eyes.
    This isn't your last day, you'll wake up tomorrow.
    This isn't your last day, you'll wake up tomorrow.
    So I pull the shades back,
    Let the light pour in through every crack I slammed into the window.
    Will the good parts stay in limbo?
    Why can I only remember when you said you'd love me better if I left?
    And not the way you said, a thousand times, that if I left you'd die?

    The word "alive" was highlighted for no reason. I hadn't highlighted it...But it awoke something inside of me. I am alive. I got through all those times where death seemed like the only relief. I made it.

But if you don’t HOLD ON! Because Our creator never gives us more than we can handle ! So when shit gets so unbeatable remember that you were literally designed to handle it ... by your biological make up... beautiful ♥️

    Was my favorite the moment I heard the album and after further reading along, it's only solidified my favoritism. Man, when I first heard it was a concept album I remember thinking "how can they make a song FEEL like a room, not just write relate-able lyrics?" Well, now I know. Can't get enough of this. Hope to see you sometime soon.

  • @joelthune17
    @joelthune17 Před 10 lety

    Lyrically this is their best album by far, and I might even argue musically as well. But comparison is for those who don't know how to just sit back an enjoy music.

  • @bobphillips5617
    @bobphillips5617 Před 9 lety +5

    This song suits Kurt's voice well but overall this band could be better w/ a different vocalist. Regardless, their lyrics are deep and intense and IMO, the best thing about the band. This is coming from someone who generally doesn't care about lyrics also. Fantastic writing, fantastic arrangements. Good band,

  • @camerontelker9335
    @camerontelker9335 Před 10 lety +7

    As for the argument of who is better, Craig or Travis. I choose Travis, because unlike Craig, he hasn't destroyed his voice with drugs. Jonny is a good singer, but no where near as good as he used to be. Even if you think he sounds better than Kurt currently (after the drug abuse), knowing that there's a better version of him recorded somewhere makes everything new that he records extremely disappointing (much like Anthony Green, although he kinda just lost the edginess of his voice). Plus, A Lot Like Birds isn't just Kurt, so whatever you might find lacking in his voice is supported by the talents of everyone else. He chose this band because he actually wanted to be in a band, not a bunch of guys playing instruments with a quarter of their fans only knowing the name of the lead vocalist. That's the end of my rant.

    • @DustiestDog
      @DustiestDog Před 10 lety +5

      But Anthony Green's stuff is still good

    • @arham1491TheGreat
      @arham1491TheGreat Před 10 lety +9

      why even bring up jonny craig into this? THIS IS ALLB. Jonny has no meaning in this. Also, Kurt's voice is fucking amazing live. What a great powerhouse vocalist and lyricist.

    Seriously? Why are you even talking about jonny craig at all? He was never in this band. I'm ok with people comparing craig to travis when they're talking about dgd, but not this band. It makes no sense to me when people compare the two when this is a completely different band.
