I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I'm feeling so nostalgic
The power of the vitamins won't
Affect the blood flow
I'm staring out
The windows are fogged
I can't entertain you
No I can't entertain you
The power of the vitamins won't
The power of the vitamins won't
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
you were in my dream
you were meant for me
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
Two fools in love
We were meant to be
They say that love is tragic
I could suck on your neck all night long
Respect the bond that
We've built and made so strong
I can't entertain you
No I can't entertain you
The power of the vitamins won't
The power of the vitamins won't
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
you were in my dream
you were meant for me
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
Two fools in love
We were meant to be
Ball up and cry
Don't you feel like you could die?
Wash it away
Alcohol tonight...
Ball up and cry
Don't you feel like you could die?
Wash it away
Alcohol tonight...
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
you were in my dream
you were meant for me
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
Two fools in love
We were meant to be...
The power of the vitamins won't
Affect the blood flow
I'm staring out
The windows are fogged
I can't entertain you
No I can't entertain you
The power of the vitamins won't
The power of the vitamins won't
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
you were in my dream
you were meant for me
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
Two fools in love
We were meant to be
They say that love is tragic
I could suck on your neck all night long
Respect the bond that
We've built and made so strong
I can't entertain you
No I can't entertain you
The power of the vitamins won't
The power of the vitamins won't
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
you were in my dream
you were meant for me
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
Two fools in love
We were meant to be
Ball up and cry
Don't you feel like you could die?
Wash it away
Alcohol tonight...
Ball up and cry
Don't you feel like you could die?
Wash it away
Alcohol tonight...
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
you were in my dream
you were meant for me
Sweetheart
Hold you so tight it would break my arms
Why can't you see?
Two fools in love
We were meant to be...

goooood luv song....i think. i cant believe no on else has commented on it!
"hold you so tight it would break my arms".....fantastic
geez, i'm so glad my friend told me to listen to these guys..........best choice i've made in a while. great lyrics, harmony, just everything. perfect. these guys know how to make awesome music. one question....on the chorus "hold you so tight, i could break my arms, why can't you see........" the first time he says it, he says something other than "two fools in love, we were meant to be" what does he say??
to me, it sounds like he says "sweetheart, hold you so tight it would break my arms. why can't you see, PRECIOUS, we were meant to be..." the first time around. i don't know for sure, though.
aside from that, this song is amazing. it's that kind of sad that gives you hope, you know? i love it.
Will someone please send me the correct lyrics to this song Volcomgirl481@aol.com...because for some reason these dont look right at all.
i agree with you, volcomgirl481 that chorus line still seems iffy. don't know if its totally correct. if somebody does have the correct lyrics, post em so i can learn them!! "hold you so tight i could break my arms...." ahh thats some good music
