Message From Kathlene

Alkaline Trio

I guess I'll always stop and see you
And we'll run into each other's lives
Yeah, I guess, although it tears me up inside
Everytime it burns my eyes with tears
But I know you're worth the pain
I've so much more to gain by waiting for you

You're going away but you're not going far
So if he decides to leave you alone and crying
You know I'm still here, the faithful one
Waiting for a message from Kathlene
Then I'll come.. faster

Than I ever thought that I could run
'Cause I..
I need you more than I ever thought
That I could need someone
Someone Someone Someone else

I know I will always stop and see you
And we'll run into each other's fucked up lives
Yeah, I guess, although it tears me up inside
Everytime it burns my eyes with tears

But your waking up is the start of my lost cause
And then you decide to leave me alone and crying
But you know I'm still here, the faithful one
Waiting for a message from Kathlene

Then I'll come.. faster
Than I ever thought that I could run
'Cause I..
I need you more than I ever thought

That I could need someone
Someone Someone Someone else

    Everyone has the one they'd wait for forever. The one whose phone call or page or voicemail makes you stop dead in your tracks and make you want to find them and make sure they're okay. The one who you can't tear from your heart no matter how hard you try.

    This is my favorite Alk3 song. My fav lyrics in it "I know I will always stop and see you and we'll run into each other's fucked up lives. Yeah, I guess. Although it tears me up inside. Everytime it burns my eyes with tears. " Anyone can relate to it, & it's just awesome!

    at the moment this is ma favourite song an i can really *relate* (o how cheesy) to the lyrics. the song seems to be about unrequited love of the suicide inducing kind where its like the best and highest point love gets to but it isnt returned..i mean he loves her an would do anything for her..he waits around for her knowing shes with someone else, fucking someone else..blah blah blah... cmfeo
