How Long Is the Night? Lyrics
If we run far away, think we will ever die?
We'll throw these books in the fire
Can you stop the train?
Cause it some delay?
The change machine lied
And it's too late
To scream how long is the night?
It's never over, it's never over
And the ribbon was tied, but the card was never read
It's never over, it's never over.
The ribbon was crimson, the color of the night
Can you see the handwriting on the walls?
And on the autumn leaves that fall
What are we gonna do?
The trees are giving up on us
The needle and the thread stitch us to the branch
And the night never ends
What are we gonna do?
The trees are giving up on us
The needle and the thread won't stitch us to the branch (won`t stitch, won`t stitch us)
And the night, it never ends
The night, it never ends
I will never sleep again
(I, I'll never even close my eyes)
If the sun is on its way, then we will never die
And we'll follow these tracks to the sight
Now the lungs collapse, air is getting thin
All breath expired
is it too late to heal, how long is the night?
It`s never over, it`s never over
The ribbon was tied but the card was never read
It`s never over, it`s never over
The ribbon was crimson, the color of the night
It's all I ever see anymore
But the day was so bright in the pictures
In the photo album that you gave me
It's all I have to live for
I'm falling down, I'm falling down
And you're not here to break my fall
I shut my eyes when you're around
I hold my breath to kill the sound
I'm falling down, I'm falling down
And you're not here to catch my fall
this song takes my breath away. its amazing, simply amazing.
this song iS SOOOO sweet,i like how it is slow,and then fast...screaming and then not
Sweet????Dont think so.....Amazing:yes. Seems like maybe he lost someone and he is expressing his emense pain and overwhelming feelings of loss in the form of a "sweet" song.
this song makes me want to live, to seize life by the nutz and . . .uh . . .well just live. anyway, i was feeling depressed and lonely in college the other night, and I was listening to full collapse in my bed. When this song came on I just said, fuck feeling sorry for myself, it was 2 o'clock in the moringing, I got up out of bed, threw some clothes on and fucking partied my brains out.
thursday is fucking genius....thats what he is talking about
Im not totally sure why, but it seems to me that this song is meaning that what was promised to someone never came through-like, someone was told that everything great would happen if he did something, but only pain happened from it, and the person is totally damaged and hurt by what happened.
so good live too
I think Thursday is an amazing band and they hooked me the first time i heard them. This song is perhaps one of my favorite songs....like all their other songs it is filled with raw emotion that is yet to be rivaled by any other band i have heard.
i dont understand.... what is he talking about ?
i think this song is about pain, mentally and emotionally, which alot of people can relate to. thusday is so fucking amazing.
