This song is way wrong. So, I don't know if lyme01 got these from a different version, or if he's just creative and didn't like the real lyrics, but these are the ones from their album. Well I swear I tried again You’re never visible on the weekdays When I need you to Do what you can’t afford to do You better watch your tone You’re not invincible You know I’ll do what I gotta do To stop the sound coming from you Cause the truth is You’re probably not as bad As I make you out to be To the boys and the girls That will listen closely know I’m the one that is happy You can write the coolest songs I was wrong, Yeah I'm was wrong My God! What have we got here? I've been tryin hard and you've been dyin hard for years now Well I swear I did it all I'll always be my best flaw. Please just pick up the phone Am I invisible? You know I'll do what I've gotta do to stop the sounds you make Cause the truth is You’re probably not as bad As I thought that you were being To the boys and myself We’re just tired of listening oh I’m the one that is sorry Help me write the coolest songs you were wrong, you're always wrong Cause the truth Is that no one Truly knows What the hell it is you’re doing When they ask are you dead Or are you just sleeping? I am the one that is happy I don’t like your shitty songs You were wrong You were wrong |

It looks to me like he is talking about his daughter running away. "Packed a change of clothes and left in the middle of July 2005" after her and her mom got into a fight "But when the glass, it hit the wall Mother cried and the cops were called" And his mom called him at work "Your father left his work by one or two To a crying telephone his wife was on the other side of you Really did it this time" Then, he begins to incorrporate Luke 15:11-32. "From a father to his daughter My prodigal child, come back to me" This is him being the Father from that story, and he want's his daughter to come back; he's waiting with open arms. "From a sinner to his Maker Your prodigal’s son is on his knees" This is him crying out to God, and now he's the son, and he is running to God who has his arms open wide. |

| Well, it looks to me like his dad died, and the song is about how his dad's death is affecting his family. And how it's making him depressed. It's a great song, really. | |
