Seal the Deal Lyrics
I can taste blood for the ones who I envy
trying to make it right, they won't catch me
now that I know, just watch what I'll do
watch me gently breakin' both our hearts
watch me gently breakin'
watch me gently breakin' our hearts
I don't know how to feel
now that I know that it's for real
just how am I supposed to feel?
with the thing you are wanting to part by a mile
trying to make them right like a sonnet
neither one will give in so I'm down from it
watch me fakin' that I know just what to do
watch me plainly fakin'
meanwhile I've got a stake in a heart
I don't know how to feel
now that I know that it's for real
just how am I supposed to feel?
I don't know how to feel
now that I know that it's for real
just how am I supposed to feel?

I am confused as to why im the first person to comment on this song. I am not one to rate 311 songs, i feel all of them stand alone in their glory, but i must say this one is one of my personal favorites. First time i listened to it was on the 311 website (311, alt+enter) and i could not get into the song. it wasnt like most of the others, and actually i felt it shared a similarity to eons (another song i had to listen to many times over to love it) and so eventually i gave seal the deal a try, and i started to love it. every lyric hit deep in my soul.. its a beautiful song and will make you a lifelong listener.

hell yeah, I love Soundsystem, and it's too bad that seal the deal is a b-side

sounds like nick is talking about his fear of making a commitment with a girl...either marriage or just a long relationship. He no longer wants the relationship, but he's already "sealed the deal", so how is he supposed to get out without breaking the girl's heart?
