Story Of The Year Lyrics
Wide open, Empty coffin
Giving up is jumping in
Straight foward, Sun on the dashboard
This dead-end town I'll leave behind
Wide open, Miles of pavement
Away from useless lives and failure
I've seen these lights
For the last time
How does it feel when I laugh in your face?
When I give you the finger
You're already dead to me
And you really think you matter
That's the story of the year
2000 miles away from
These stormy skies
To salty air
Knee deep in midwest quicksand
There's no reason to say good bye
When I give you the finger
You're already dead to me
And you really think you matter
That's the story of the year
Now or never
It's the story of the year
There's no way I'll believe in second chances
Don't look back
Don't hesitate
Your futures' the chances you take
Don't live your life
Afraid of growing old with regret in the end
Giving up is jumping in
Straight foward, Sun on the dashboard
This dead-end town I'll leave behind
Wide open, Miles of pavement
Away from useless lives and failure
I've seen these lights
For the last time
How does it feel when I laugh in your face?
You're already dead to me
And you really think you matter
That's the story of the year
These stormy skies
To salty air
Knee deep in midwest quicksand
There's no reason to say good bye
You're already dead to me
And you really think you matter
That's the story of the year
It's the story of the year
There's no way I'll believe in second chances
Don't hesitate
Your futures' the chances you take
Don't live your life
Afraid of growing old with regret in the end

Hey i feel cool i'm the first person to comment on this song... Uhh yea it kicks - i really like how he sings the chorus. I think it's pretty obvious what the songs about.
Man this is a great song. I mean just look at the chorus...WHEN I GIVE YOU THE FINGERRRR - this song seems like it would be the first single or whatever off their album since - afterall - their albums called STORY OF THE YEAR. This song is too great not to listen to - if that makes any sense
itmakes sense, but just letting everybody know, big blue monkey changed their name to story of the year.. and their new website is http://www.storyoftheyearrocks.com
I think this song is about hating where he grew up and the people in it, they sit around and waste their lives.they do nothing. they dont try to make a difference. and when he tried people talked about him but now since hes getting out & is making a difference hes laughing at them. i think that explains the 1st verse. he describes where he came from :These stormy skies To salty air Knee deep in midwest quicksand ----sad lonley hard to get out
so when he left he ddint bother looking back , saying goodbye, he just wanted to leave. so i think its about him leaving them and
hey idk if anyone is going to see this, but ive been trying to find SOTY old stuff, i came up with 4 of the 5 songs but i cant find this song. If anyone wants to do be a huge favor and send me it through AIM or something, by sn is bballbuck01. it would be greatly appreciated
