(Strawberry Ann) Switzerland Lyrics

strawberry ann switzer-
land straddles the line
between his and mine
we'll keep honor we'll
keep on her with basical-
ly tactical signs of life in
burning a candle we'll
burn our hands off for
your side if we're so
clever if we're so ever
wanting leverage then
how come i'm crying
eleven feet from your
bedside let me inside you
can always come over
and i can always miss
you all over what hap-
pened late tonight our
eyes in the moonlight
with our lies so give me a
chance and i promise
we'll make it all worth-
while give me a chance
and i promise i can make
you smile did i make you
smile so is there peace
tonight cause if every-
thing's a fight then every-
thing is nothing but
nothing's important.

Strawberry Ann Switzerland Straddles the line Between his and mine

We'll keep honor We'll keep on her With basically Tactical signs of life

In burning a candle We'll burn our hands off For your side If we're so clever If we're so ever wanting leverage Then how come I'm crying Eleven feet from your bedside Let me inside

You can always come over And I can always miss you all over You can always come over And I can always kiss you all over

What happened late tonight Our eyes in the moonlight With our lies

So give me a chance and I Promise I'll make it all Make it all Alright

Give me a chance and I Promise we'll make it all Make it all Worthwhile

Give me a chance and I Promise I can make you Smile

Did I make you smile?

And is there peace tonight Cause if everythings a fight Then everything is nothing But nothing's important But nothing's important But nothing Is important

You can always come over And I can always miss you

Wow, no comments. i think this is one of braid's best songs and i love the quick changes in mood and intensity. this song is well written and i love the way bob writes the words to fit the music, not the other way around. this one just seems to me to be about people needing to lighten up and that stupid fights between friends are pointless, i dunno. oh well, great song.

Sounds to me like there's a girl that's having trouble chosing between two guys (she's being neutral, hence her title of 'Switzerland'), and Rob is trying to explain the situation. 'We'll burn our hands off for your side' is an explaination of how far the guys would go for the girl. My personal favorite part of the song is 'If we're so everwanting leverage, then why am I crying eleven feet from your bedside' Great song, all in all, one of the more easily decipherable ones... ...God I miss braid.

i'd have to agree with invader zym's take on the song. this song has to be one of my favorites from braid. i especially love the line, "you can always come over and i can always miss you all over"

i think this is the sexiest braid song ever. not a nerdy sort of sexy, i mean how bob kinda purrs out the "give me a chance....did i make you smile" part. http://www.angelfire.com/indie/braid

I want to know what Chris is yelling at the very end of the song... "If I asked you, I wish you would stay" maybe???

Cover art for (Strawberry Ann) Switzerland lyrics by Braid

close, but I'm pretty sure Chris says "If I asked you, would you stay?" I wanna know where that part that sounds like an old movie clip is from "...love letter." "It's beautiful...I'm just the wrong person."
