Mayday Parade – One Man Drinking Games Lyrics 17 years ago
I think she moved, and they lost contact. Then he tries to regain it and finds out she's died.

"And you said it would be funny
to keep me hanging in suspense,
then I'd run over to your house
and I'd scale the chain link fence
that, borders your back yard
and that I'd climb through your window
and I'd whisper that I love you
as you fall out of your clothes."

He's remembering how it was BEFORE she moved.


"And we'd lay there in the darkness
like the dream of you I had
where we captured all the fireflies
and we knew what time we had
could be counted on our finger tips
that almost made you cry
you let me hold you tightly
as we said all our goodbyes."

What's happening as she's telling him she has to move far away, and their reaction.


"may I say I loved you more
may I say I loved you more"

Their only words, that they want to make sure the other knows how much they care about them.


"and It must have been an hour
that I clutched you in my arms
and I must of said the the right things
because you instantly felt warm"

He's trying to make her feel better, and reassure her they'll still be together if they can.


"and you heard my heart stop beating
and you wanted not to cry
as your sympathetic whispers
they told a tale of bad goodbyes"

His 'heart stopped' as in it broke. He knows that by telling her they'll be together he's lying and she knows it, but they're hoping that by believing it, it'll be true.



"and you swore you say me laughing
and I swore I saw you smile
and this time we spent together
has got to last us quite awhile"

Their last moments have got to last them quite a while, so they'll be happy even apart. And after she moves, it has tp last forever, as she dies.


"as I take this piece of you with me
I'll carry it to my grave
knowing that for someone you're an angel sent to save
(Keep breathing my angel, if you go down I go down with you)
may I say I loved you more
(keep breathing, just keep breathing)
may I say I loved you more"

He finds out shes died, and he keeps saying he loves her because he believe she can hear him, as shes an angel now. And that he'll be with her soon.


lets drink to the memorys that we shared
down one to all the hopes and cares
heres too for being unaware, that your gone
because before too long you'll be a memory

lets drink to the memories that we shared
(before too long you'll be a memory)
down one to all the hopes and cares
(because before too long you'll be a memory)
heres too for being unaware
(I said before too long you'll be a memory)
that your gone
I said before too long you'll be a memory"

he's getting wasted because of guilt.
