"Ghost Man on Third" as written by Adam Lazzara, Shaun Cooper, John Nolan, Mark O'connell and Edward Reyes....
Jynx me something crazy
Thinking if it's three
Then I'm as smooth as the skin
Rolls across the small of your back
It's too bad it's not my style
If you need me
I'm out and on the parkway,
Patient and waiting for headlights,
Dressed in a fashion that's fitting to the
Inconsistencies of my moods
It's times like these where silence means everything
And no one is to know about this
It's times like these, where silence means everything
And no one is to know about this
It's a campaign of distraction
And revisionist history, oh
It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
No one is to know about this
It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
Don't let me down
But whatever I have gettin myself into
Maybe has been slicing inches from my waist
It's my fist vs. the bottle
(and thank god you weren't there...)
And that's how bad could this hurt
Or against I won't feel a thing
(and thank god you weren't there...)
I tell you all about it
It's just not working out
(...to watch me hit the bottle)
Not working out
It's a campaign of distraction
And revisionist history, oh
It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
No one is to know about this
It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
Don't let me down
This is why we were taught so much better than this (2X)
This is what living like this does (9X)
Thinking if it's three
Then I'm as smooth as the skin

"Thinkin' if it's three
then I'm as smooth as the skin
rolls across the small of your back
It's too bad it's not my style"
He is good at hiding it, smooth even, but it's not what he wants.
"It's times like these where silence means everything
And no one is to know about this".
She is not willing to break it to her partner. He feels trapped, like the loose end, but won't interfere with her relationship because he doesn't want to see her hurt.
"It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice"
He's referring to the nature of his silence, he can't talk about the affair but it's having a negative effect on him. He can't ask for help without explaining the circumstances. He has to act normal, so no one notices what's happening to him.
"It's a campaign of distraction
and revisionist history"
This is possibly a reference to the nature of their relationship. He has to keep her boyfriend distracted in order to see her. Revisionist history might refer to his ever changing morals in the situation.
"But whatever I have gettin' myself into...not workin' out".
This refers to how he is dealing with the problem, he's frustrated that girl he loves is with another man and it's causing him to drink excessively, it's also causing him to lose weight, possibly from stress.
"Don't let me down".
He's hoping that it's all worth it, that she'll leave her boyfriend for him.
"This is why we were taught so much better than this
This is what living like this does"
He's reflecting on why he was always taught that this behavior was unacceptable, he's learning why.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.
no matter how much he gave this person, they never showed him the feelings back. he gave up, became impatient.. he doesnt think the person notices how much he loved them , and he doesnt want to get let down again..
i dont know, that is how i understand the song.. if that makes sense to anyone else..
but this song is fucking amazing.. just like the rest of the cd.
Reading the old 2002 comments makes me so nostalgic.. this band used to be something special.
maybe has been slicing inches from my waist," he's been doing these drugs that make him not hungry and he's losing weight, and it almost seems like he WANTS someone to notice but they don't. "It's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice. It's a shame, I doubt they even care."
This is what living like this does, that's him looking at himself and seeing what the drugs he's been doing are doing to his body and relationships and saying to himself, "I'm doing this to myself, this is what living the life I'm living does to you."
"Thinkin' if it's three
then I'm as smooth as the skin
rolls across the small of your back
It's too bad it's not my style"
