Dashboard Confessional – Don't Wait Lyrics 19 years ago
I signed up for songmeanings just cause I had to throw in my 2 cents about this one...
I really don't think its about anyone but the person singing it...

I've been "emo" or whatever for years now, its getting to the point that I feel like I need to grow out of it, I need to move on. I go to shows and I feel embarrassed because I'm 5 years older than the next person. I've also gotten to the point in my life that i'm probably not emo anymore.... I don't wear my heart on my sleeve, I've slept with women that I can't say I've cared about a week later- don't get me wrong, I'm not proud of this, but its reality.

anyway- being emo for years fucking sucks, wearing your heart on your sleeve does not feel good. so I created a shell, a place that i could say "fuck that I don't care". and I became bitter, and I became selfish, and I started to flatline, I mean i've been in relationships and they haven't meant a thing when they ended, and I was sad because I didn't feel anything but I was happy that i didn't have to feel like shit...

anyway- back to the song. songmeanings asks you "what does this song mean to you" and to me it means a second chance. to me the song says soon it will be too late to lay down the armor you've constructed for yourself.... soon you won't be able to say fuck it without realizing the chances you've missed. to me the song says don't wait to lay it all down one more time, wear your heart on your sleeve one more time, remember how it feels to love someone so much that it hurts, remember how it feels to lose and to win and to make something of yourself by creating something with someone else.

previous girls have gotten one look at the emo me, something that the knife took (i'm almost positive its knife, really listen to it).... and then we never spoke of it again... what this song is telling me is that once isn't enough, and even though it hurts, to feel love and lose it better than to feel nothing at all.

thats what this song means to me
