Save It For Later Lyrics
so you thinkin about tomorrow
and all those simple things you think you might like
well youve been slippin in the daylight you see
ive been tryin to keep things light
so youre looking for approval
to do those stupid things your father might like
well you might kill yourself to get it you see
but it might never make things right
it just might leave you more uptight
and all the things within the world
and all the boys and all the girls
that never seam to get enough
they save it for later you see
all the saints and all the freaks
and all the strange philosophies
the novelities the memories
they save it for later you see
they save it for later you see
so now youre lookin for some revelation
but you're still lying there
still in your bed
well ive been stealing with the motions
but have you heard a word ive said
so youre thinkin bout tomorrow
about reliving every minute of your past
well im just living for the moment you see
cause im just tryin to make it last
cause ive just seen it come to fast
and all the things within the world
and all the boys and all the girls
that never seam to get enough
they save it for later you see
all the saints and all the freaks
and all the strange philosophies
the novelities the memories
they save it for later you see
save it for later you see
and the best part of my life
is the worst part of your day
and the best part of my song
is the last part you ever played
and all the things within the world
and all the boys and all the girls
that never seam to get enough
they save it for later you see
all the saints and all the freaks
and all the strange philosophies
and everyone that never speaks
they save it for later you see
and all the things within the world
and every boy and every girl
that never seams to get enough
they save it for later you see
and every time you build it up
and put it in your paper cup
it never seams to be enough
you save it for later you see
you save it for later you see
dont save it for later you see
you're life would be greater you see
(*fading out*: dont save it for later you see...)
and all those simple things you think you might like

I love this song and seriously cant wait for the new album to come out....this song was on their site and i listened to it a few hundred times and am almost positive i got the words down...so enjoy and be sure to pick up the new album due out in august
not sure what its about but i like the way it is written
I think the main message is fairly obvious. It's talking bad about materialism and building up a vast range of trinkets and possessions and it's promoting a life of simplicity without worrying about making "a living" or having a career just so you can keep up with the Joneses or please your family or do what you're "supposed" to be doing in life.
I went to a concert they played in DC last month. The singer said that this was about someone spending their life trying to please their father, doing all these things hes told to do, and save the good times for later. Years go by, and he looks back and realizes he never got to have those good times. Moral:Live for the moment. Straight from the source
Check out my band, Boldly Going Nowhere.
Great song. Great band. Can't wait for their album. I think that, by far, my favorite line in this song is "and every time you build it up and put it in your paper cup it never seams to be enough."
Such a dynamic band. :)
This is a great song! I love it. It seems to get old pretty quick to me but that's ok. The next day it's as good as new! Thanks
