We Know Who Our Enemies Are Lyrics
Save my skin, I need a medic
Hold me down, I'm only sewn down.
Save my teeth, show me you meant it
Catch my death, I'm only sewn together.
My eyelids are heavy, and the night's wearing on
Your story's familiar, and your innocence is gone
We'd burn like the morning then break like your heart
Fall in love without warning just to fall back apart
All fevered and blistered, with nothing at stake
I feel the warmth of her whisper, and the cold of my mistakes
Her soul in the balance, my heart in her hands
I made her a widow, she made me a man.
Hold me down, I'm only sewn down.
Save my teeth, show me you meant it
Catch my death, I'm only sewn together.
Your story's familiar, and your innocence is gone
We'd burn like the morning then break like your heart
Fall in love without warning just to fall back apart
All fevered and blistered, with nothing at stake
I feel the warmth of her whisper, and the cold of my mistakes
Her soul in the balance, my heart in her hands
I made her a widow, she made me a man.

i think this song is talking about how aaron (the singer) had a relationship with a girl and went too far with it...he talks like it was his fault that the relationship was ruined, but he is still in love with the girl. live these guys are incredible...they have more emotion on stage than any band i've ever seen...as emo as it sounds, it made me feel like crying. i love the fact that even though the lyrics are sad, they have a glimmer of hope in them.
I fucking love this song
yeah, it's great. the old version is too.
wonderful musicians, these boys!
THIS SONG IS FUCKING AMAZING. THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME!
this is damn fine music right here
Very poetic. I like.
the one thing that makes this song so great is the last 25 seconds with the swell and tambourine. these guys are so amazing....
Am I the only one that sees the homages to Neutral Milk Hotel on this album?
i see it.
i see it.
What is he shouting in the background when they are singing
"Save my skin, I need a medic Hold me down, I'm only sewn down. Save my teeth, show me you meant it Catch my death, I'm only sewn together. "
for the second time?
"he's beyond the shadow of your doubt and mine he's no man's opinion, he is truth divine come and save me now, come and shake my ground while i catch my breath, come and catch your death"
"he's beyond the shadow of your doubt and mine he's no man's opinion, he is truth divine come and save me now, come and shake my ground while i catch my breath, come and catch your death"
awesome. i must say i like the old version better. its more raw.
