Carve Your Heart Out Yourself Lyrics
Carve your heart out yourself
Hoplessness is your cell
Since you've drawn out these lines
Are you protected from trying times
Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all
Oh look now
There you go with hope again
Oh you're so sure
I'll be leaving in the end
Dig your ditch deep enough
To keep you clear of the sun
You've been burned more than once
You don't think much of trust
Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish she had never dreamt at all
Oh Look now, there you go with hope again
But I'll be sure your secrects safe with me
Oh you're so sure
I'll be leaving in the end
Treatin me like I'm already gone
but I'm not
I will stay
where you are
always
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay (oh look now, there you go)
I will stay (oh look now, there you go)
I will stay
I will stay (oh look now, there you go)
Hoplessness is your cell
Since you've drawn out these lines
Are you protected from trying times
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all
There you go with hope again
Oh you're so sure
I'll be leaving in the end
To keep you clear of the sun
You've been burned more than once
You don't think much of trust
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish she had never dreamt at all
But I'll be sure your secrects safe with me
Oh you're so sure
I'll be leaving in the end
Treatin me like I'm already gone
I will stay
where you are
always
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay (oh look now, there you go)
I will stay (oh look now, there you go)
I will stay
I will stay (oh look now, there you go)

Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all...
I saw Chris play this weekend in Geneseo, it was incredible. My absolute favorite band EVER
Smile! Spring is here
"I'd rather be dreamless than dream of you"
Chris really hits too close to home sometimes.
I play this cd in this order: 4-3-7-9-10-11-2-5-6-13. I left out 'Hands Down' because it fits better on 'So Impossible'. But anyway, give this spin a try.
-But I'm not, I will stay where you are always.
Pretty good song, what can I say..all of them are. To me, nobody can compare to dashboard. Usually I can compare to them..i dont think i do to this one?
i said "usually i can compare to them.." ...haha i meant RELATE..to them ;)
i can relate so well to this song,,,,, just b/c i am lonely nd i do wish i had never dreamed for most of the time,,,, so yea,,, this probbably one of my favorite dashboard songs eva!!!!!!!!!
when i heard this the first time i knew it was a tear jerker and it only gets better everytime
i love this song:) and i love dashboard... lovelove haha Oh look now "There you go with hope again Oh you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end" ISs perrfect cause i never trust people
i love this song i will stay where you are for always
This is such a well written song because Chris is saying basically, "Stop expecting me to hurt you and break your heart". (which is why he goes on to say "I will stay...etc"). And I think this is just a great song because it's kind of an eye opener because "You've been burned more than once...you don't think much of trust" And so he is saying that she has been hurt before so she is afraid to love and she's so sure that he will hurt her. But in reality, that's the last thing he wants to do..
