Surprise, Surprise Lyrics
Hey there love lets get to catching upcause I’ve been thinking those thoughts that must have slipped my mind that time that I left you there that night. I would probably remind you of the guy you failed to mention all along cause your actions have consequences and these are them.
Ill be your friend in hell until then ill despise you, and i probably always will. I cant afford to make another mistake like this and this is more than i can take. I don’t mean to leave angry this is by your own demise. I’m sure this comes as no surprise...
Hey there babe don’t mean to cut you off, I’ve heard enough lies your dying to get caught, Ill let you go call all your friends "oh my god let me describe to you this guy his name is ken, he’s in this band that writes such awful songs about me all the time," your god damn right!
Ill be your friend in hell until then ill despise you, and i probably always will. i cant afford to make another mistake like this and this is more than i can take. i don’t mean to leave angry this is by your own device I’m sure this comes as no…
Oh I’m fine, just let me lie here for awhile
Cause Im staying up yeah hanging up all night.
Oh Im spent, from all the tension, I give in
To a hopeless case, to a sharp headache,
To a choice you make, to a reason why…to the reason why I said...ill be your friend in hell untill then ill despise you and I probably always will. I cant afford to make another mistake like you. Im sure this comes as no suprise. I CAN'T TAKE...I CAN'T TAKE THIS. Im sure this comes as no surprise...I CANT TAKE--SURPRISE, SURPRISE.
Cause Im staying up yeah hanging up all night.
Oh Im spent, from all the tension, I give in
To a hopeless case, to a sharp headache,
To a choice you make, to a reason why…to the reason why I said...ill be your friend in hell untill then ill despise you and I probably always will. I cant afford to make another mistake like you. Im sure this comes as no suprise. I CAN'T TAKE...I CAN'T TAKE THIS. Im sure this comes as no surprise...I CANT TAKE--SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

This song is obviously about his ex-girlfriend. "I can't afford to make another mistake like you," I really love that line. The girl was lying, and from "I would probably remind you of the guy you failed to mention all along," I would say she didn't even take their relationship seriously. It's kinda sad, but whatever. This song is fucking great.
I think it's pretty obvious of what this is about if you really know The Starting Line, or if you really listen to them. I personally do both, considering they grew up in my town and my friends had gone to school with them.
But this song is directed towards to an ex-girlfriend of Ken's, who he wrote most of his songs about in the Say It Like You Mean It album. After the album had made it big, she tried to get on good terms with Ken. Since they had been on bad terms before, Ken had probably picked up how she was being fake just to get on his good side since he had now become famous. He was disgusted by this, and told her he just didn't want to be friends with her. She became upset, and started drama, telling all of her friends about the songs Ken wrote about her, blah blah. He found out, told her she'd never have a chance in hell, and wrote this song as a updated song of how he feels about her. Also a song to give her something to tell her friends about.
Good guess. This song is about a girl Ken met in Seattle on tour after Say It Like You Mean it came out. They had talked for a like 6 months and he came to visit her and saw her when he toured. The last time he visited she blew him off. It was the girl he wrote Lasting Impressions about. I met him through her and she received the original demo for Lasting Impressions, Surprise, Surprise and a few other negative songs that didn't make the album. They since have talked and laughed about the situation.

"Surprise, Surprise! I found another love short-lived on lies"
this song is awesome, This is the live version. However, the actual song that will be released on the cd is a bit differnet on a few verses. I will try and load the new one.

Unless these lyrics are wrong, purevolume has something different.
