Bend And Not Break Lyrics
I catalog these steps now,decisive and intentioned,
precise and patterned specifically to yours.
I'm talented at breathing,especially exhaling,
so that my chest will rise and fall with yours.
I'm careful not to wake you,fearing conversation.
It's better just to hold you and keep you pacified.
I'm talented with reason,I cover all the angles.
I can fail before I EVER try.
Try to understand,theres an old mistake that fools will make.
And i'm the king of them,pushing everything that's good away.
So won't you hold me now? (I will not bend.I will not break.)
Won't you hold me now? (I will not bend.I will not break.)
I am fairly agile. I can bend and not break.
Or I can break and take it with a smile.
I am so resilient. I recover quickly.
I'll convince you soon that i am fine.
Try to understand,theres an old mistake that fools will make.
And i'm the king of them,pushing everything that's good away.
So won't you hold me now? (I will not bend.I will not break.)
Won't you hold me now? (For you I rise for you I fall.)

I can totally relate to this song especially the part about pushing everything that's good away.
This is my current favorite song. The way he says "So won't you hold me now? I will not bend, I will not break" sounds like he's pleading to the person he's singing too. Awesome song...
"Try to understand,theres an old mistake that fools will make. And i'm the king of them,pushing everything that's good away" Thats got to be the best part of the song cause for some people like me and JMC up there is true.
definitely the best DC song
"I'm talented at breathing,especially exhaling, so that my chest will rise and fall with yours. I'm careful not to wake you,fearing conversation. It's better just to hold you and keep you pacified. "
Those lines are so perfectly written and beautifully sung. You can really picture yourself holding the girl that you are in love with. It is perfect.
I love the the line " I can fail before I ever try." it's kina funny. But on a more serious note, it is a good song.

I thought I was the only one who did that breathing thing. And that's just one of the many times on this album where I stop to say, "yup".
How in hell does he know?
