| Saw a video of the band playing this acoustically and Jake said the song is how relationships can be like car crashes some times. The parallels are totally there: Crazy damaging event (car crash) followed by recovery times and really caring for someone. | |

Another fix: "Come on baby, erase it with me" Should be, "Come on baby, embrace it with me." |

| First line sounds like, 'Livin' with a lonely gun' | |
| Minus the Bear – Empty Party Room Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Here's what I heard for the second line, "But there's loves we never get" and for the first line of the second verse, "Saw your eyes straight on." Straight on makes sense as the second line sounds like they were locked eye to eye. | |

"Try to read your life from memory" not rid. "Try to read your life texturally" is the next first line. In the last verse sounds more like, "Listen to me Seek through my lies And find what you need to be true." |

| The first line is coastline bridge, not coselyn bridge. It makes sense with the rest of the verse as it's probably a bridge over a river that's reached the sea. I also agree with F4rag that the second verse, second line is, "Met Lucille for the first time again." | |

The song is about wasting time working, "for the man" at a boring 9-5 striving to stay above water. It's got the same meaning overall as a number of songs out there. Thursday's "For The Workforce, Drowning" - http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858487168/ Pedro the Lion's "Penetration" - http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/80824/ |

Second verse sounds like it goes this way to me: Put your time in And time again Spend your weekend Finishing dead ends Years go by Xerox days of Exchanging your life For a paycheck |

Just a few here. Blur is actually blood. (That section is on the Dangerbird page for the band.) Knowing that word, it helps fix the next line after that which is, "Spells out everything about one man / Who he is and where he's been" My listening of the lyrics: He regrets having no regrets And his long nights on the outside Letting it slide One more time He cant stand it when you talk to him in that voice that sounds like your mother He's watching your mouth move He turns words into white noise He blocks you out What do you want, what do you want to know? The good decision Never feels like the right time, girl (What do you want, what do you want to know?) You think he's a liar So save your sorrow He wants to, want nothing Nothing to do with the woman Who fall in love with his lies, eyes And you think that he listens While you act like you are losing your mind Over whatever truth you find to be a lie As he fades out of the room, into his mind What do you want, what do you want to know? The good decision Never feels like the right time, girl (What do you want, what do you want to know?) Think he's a liar So save your sorrow Pick up the pieces of these words Shattered across the floor With careful hands You know his words are sharp and you can read the blood You can read the blood You can read the blood You can read the blood (What do you want, what do you want to know?) You can read the blood Spells out everything about one man Who he is and where he's been You watch his eyes ten thousand times But you don't see Maybe you're wrong |

The song is obviously about a car crash throughout. Possibly about drunk driving. Starts with a couple driving along after picking up a bottle of bourbon and are either drinking and driving or heading somewhere to drink it. "And the bourbon's full at this point Crack the seal and spin the top away Yeah bourbon's full at this point Come on baby, erase it with me" During the drinking or before getting where they're going, they're in an accident which gets us into the chorus. "A cacophony of a car crash" refers to the mix of sounds that a heard including the screeching of tires, crushing metal, breaking glass, screams, etc. A cacophony is defined as, "A harsh, discordant mixture of sounds" The last chorus line refers to the silence after a crash from the vehicle stopping and the shock of what happened. After the crash the person who's perspective is written in the song is trying to keep the injured person, the girlfriend presumably, awake and responding to him to prevent death or a coma. During the accident the bottle of bourbon broke and has poured out into the street. "I need your eyes to stay connected Keep on looking into mine Don't move, don't speak, don't speak Everything's gonna be fine And the bourbons on pavement Shattered bottle in the front seat And it's broken on the pavement Come on baby, don't slip away" The person is very seriously injured and the first person/story teller is trying to get help after noticing. It seems that the injured person has gone into a coma. The story teller is waiting for beckoning them to wake up and saying they'll wait until then. She's bleeding out, call an ambulance These shaking hands are soaking wet (unsure of the last two words in this line) I'll be by your bedside, when you come to Come to me |

Changed a couple things and fixed some spelling. Comforting seems to be the word people use in the chorus a lot, but it's actually cacophony. "Cacophony: A harsh, discordant mixture of sounds" I need your eyes for our connection Every blink you give away, I lose You gave it free, it's gone Spinning off into space alone And the bourbon's full at this point Crack the seal and spin the top away Yeah bourbon's full at this point Come on baby, erase it with me Two become one The cacophony of a car crash Steel and blood, and it's over with the silence I need your eyes to stay connected Keep on looking into mine Don't move, don't speak, don't speak Everything's gonna be fine And the bourbons on pavement Shattered bottle in the front seat And it's broaken on the pavement Come on baby, don't slip away Two become one The cacophony of a car crash Steel and blood, and it's over with the silence She's bleeding out, call an ambulance These shaking hands are soaking wet I'll be by your bedside, when you come to Come to me I'll be by your bedside, when you come to Come to me I'll be by your bedside Come to me I'll be by your bedside Come to me I'll be by your bedside Come to me I'll be by your bedside Come to me Two become one The cacophony of a car crash Steel and blood, and it's over with the silence Two become one The cacophony of a car crash Steel and blood, and it's over with the silence |

The song is titled, "Listing" which is taken from the nautical term list. List: A vessel's angle of lean or tilt to one side, in the direction called roll. It ties into the song with the references to the tide. I was reliving everything you said and then it caved in No one else can make me feel the same It's how we live The tide is chasing us in Don't get wet Don't get wet Yeah No one can see me listing No one can see Don't you miss it Watching me sing Now you got me You're stuck in my head And you're not even close to where I am Sometimes this city brings you in Let's you know we live(d) Well of to whoever is him You and him Yeah No one can see me listing No one can see Don't you miss it, Watching me sing? Sometimes I forget just for a bit Sometimes I forget just for a bit Sometimes I forget just for a bit Sometimes I forget just for a bit Sometimes I forget just for a bit No one can see me listing No one can see Don't you miss it, Watching me sing? |

To my mistress the bridge, I don't feel well. I'll be leaving and you can't stop me. We've been carrying on too long, We've been carrying on too long, I'm sorry, but I'm gone. I've got a bad reputation to think about. I've been dirty, I've been wrong. Maybe someday they'll find that I've washed up. I'm stepping out to clear my head. I'm breathing in to fill my lungs. We're all dead. We're all dead. Farewell scenic highway overpass. It's better this way anyways. My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride. My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride. I left my heart at the side of her bed and she's got the warmest body that I've never had. Drag the lake, you'll find that it's full of love. Drag the lake, you'll find that it's full of love. Drag the lake, you'll find that it's full of love. Bring the children to the water and let them see what heartache did. This matrimony needs a witness, and you can teach them to swim, and you can teach them to swim, and you can teach them all to swim. Don't let your dreamers grow up to be dead men. Drown us at birth, save her some time. Drifting on romantic holiday, breathless as her cold arms cover me. Drag the lake. You'll find it's full of love. Drag the lake. You'll find it's full of love.... |

My favorite line is probably from the acoustic version of this: Seems that what you want and what you need get's stuck between Your lack of good judgment. |

Edited. Also, what're your thoughts for the line: "Every argument keepin' every night" I'm thinking maybe now it sounds like "deep in" instead of "keepin'" |
