Counterparts And Number Them Lyrics
George:
Jennifer,
They lied to you, when they said you couldn't breathe underwater.
I lied too, when I said that I was hard,
because I'm softer than a thrift store sweater, twice as worn in.
I was cast away once,
but I will be found again.
This, I promise you.
Dallas:
So here it is, the end is near.
Never would've thought that I'd be something, you'd so easily discard.
Now I see it all so clear.
So it seems that when you turned away, you left a scar.

Does anyone know what they're singing on top of George's screaming? I can't quite figure it out, but if anyone knows, please post it.
Dallas Says - "So here it is, the end is near, never thought I'd be something you'd so easily discard, now I see it all so clear so it seems when you turned away you left a scar."
Thanks. the video for this is simply awesome. Them playing the song for a bunch of eight year olds while dancing in a green meadow, no less. Hilarious
Is it "Alex Is On Fire" or "Alexis On Fire"? There is an ongoing argument amongst my friends as to how the band's name is pronounced and we need to know!!! :P

ok here's the proper lyrics (for those who want to know):
Jennifer, they lied to you when they said you couldn’t breath underwater. (So here it is, the end is near) I lied to when I said (never would've thought this might be something, you'd so easily discard) I was hard, (now I see it all so clear so it seems when you turned away you left a scar.) because im softer than a thrift store sweater and twice as worn in. I was cast away once but I will be found again. This I promise you.
Ok now for my comment... This song is one of my all time favourite songs. I love it. It's so good and my name's jennifer lol. I really want to see them live.
Oooh, they're awesome live. Saw them in Graceland, Seattle. They had the crowd so hyped up it was great. But I aslo have a question, what's with "Counterparts and Number Them" as a title? Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the song. Anyone know?
