In Your Wake Lyrics
And so it seems you were to be king for a day
Don't let your dreams of blood hunger in the way
You know these streets, they lay there patiently
Awaiting your fall, like a phone call
And I see you made all the right decisions
I believe your head stone received the wrong inscription
Didn't read anything about how much we miss you at all
So with a broken stick, in dirt we scrawled
"Here lies our dreams come true-
Here lies Xs for eyes on me and you"
Want you know, I hope you got all you wanted
Want you to know that I took all I could take
it's been so hard to see and breathe through
all the smoke left in your wake (in your wake)
Now I see you made all the right decisions
I believe your head stone received the wrong inscription
Didn't read anything about how much we miss you at all
So with a broken stick in dirt, we scrawled
"Here lies our dreams come true-
Here lies Xs for eyes on me and you"
Want you know, I hope you got all you wanted
Want you to know that I took all I could take
It's been so hard to see and breathe through
All the smoke left in your wake (in your wake)
Don't let your dreams of blood hunger in the way
You know these streets, they lay there patiently
Awaiting your fall, like a phone call
I believe your head stone received the wrong inscription
Didn't read anything about how much we miss you at all
So with a broken stick, in dirt we scrawled
Here lies Xs for eyes on me and you"
Want you know, I hope you got all you wanted
Want you to know that I took all I could take
it's been so hard to see and breathe through
all the smoke left in your wake (in your wake)
I believe your head stone received the wrong inscription
Didn't read anything about how much we miss you at all
So with a broken stick in dirt, we scrawled
Here lies Xs for eyes on me and you"
Want you know, I hope you got all you wanted
Want you to know that I took all I could take
It's been so hard to see and breathe through
All the smoke left in your wake (in your wake)

this is an awesome song. i love matt skiba :)
matt skiba is god. dashboard, chris connelly, bright eyes (connor oberst). these are some of the top lyricists out there, and none of them can top skiba. any alkaline tiro song is a stroke of genius and this split only further reminds it. matt skiba is a king, and he doesnt have a bvad voice either.
-What do you mean, 'Kevin seconds makes Skiba look like an ass though..'? I don't get that much. I think they make each other look great. Maybe the deal is, you don't like Kevin? No big deal. And Dashboard Confessional, is Chris. -I think this song rocks pretty much. I guess it does 'kind' of sound like this person who died, left behind a few scars for whoever he wrote the song for, even himself. And possibly that this person misses them to an extreme point of depression. Either way, his voice sounds great in this song and his riffs are fuckin' amazing..
Well yes chris CARABBA is dashboard, however chris CONNELLY is not.
I'm so sick of hearing skiba compared to Chris Carraba, Chris Carraba is not even in the same league!
skiba is better thancarraba
i like kevin more.
I think this is one of the best songs Skiba has done. It's up there with Radio and 97 as far as cool punk images go. The thing is, Matt writes SONGS, not punk, not alt. rock, he's a writer above genre, that's why we all love him, am i right?
thats right
hello??? i think this was SONGMEANINGS.NET!!!! you guys are just bullshitting.....join BP if you wanna do that....this is for the discussion of song lyrics goddamit!
