novia, we're blessed and we were always on the crest
and we were best of friends long before the night could end
now we'll point our fingers to whose fault it was we took so long to come around
but i vote we be happy now
novia, it took a lot of courage to say the things you did
and i'm glad that you found in yourself what i couldn't find in me
we shouldn't care whose fault it was we took so long to come around
i vote we be happy now
what's meant to be will surely someday come to pass
i'm so sorry he left you somewhat thinner
but your past is gone, focus wrong
stoke the fire that burns the letters
ship to shore, swim some more, no one can hold that against you now
and you'll believe somehow
somewhere between the actions that i can't stop and the words i can't get out
let the way my fingers part your hair speak volumes to you now
and novi, you're the strong one
novi, you're the strong one
what's meant to be will surely someday come to pass
i'm so sorry he left you somewhat thinner
but your past is gone, focus wrong
stoke the fire that burns the letters
ship to shore, swim some more, no one can hold that against you now
open up your eyes
morning bless your sight
oh, and i cannot believe the things we did last night
now you are like a ghost
living in my town
everywhere i look and yet you're nowhere to be found
but your past is gone
focus wrong
stoke the fire that burns the letters
ship to shore
swim some more
no one can hold that against you
you're the accident that happens
when we're busy making other plans
i never saw you coming
i hope i never see you go
what's meant to be will surely someday come to pass
i'm so sorry he left you somewhat thinner
but your past is gone, focus wrong
stoke the fire that burns the letters
ship to shore, swim some more, no one can hold that against you now
not now..

i love the lyrics "you're the accident that happens when we're busy making other plans i never saw you coming, i hope i never see you go" i love this band you guys are amazing lyricists.
ENDERRRRRR! gahhhh another amazing band that doesnt get the noticing they deserve love love love love love
youre the accident that happens when were busy making other plans i never saw you coming i hope i never see you go
yayyy these boys are amazing live they are amazing in general
i think that this song can be related to any young relationship that started as friends first, "your the accident that happens when were busy making other plans". I feel that this also says that you can't always explains what happens or why sometimes you just have to give it all up to faith!!
"now we'll point our fingers to whose fault it was we took so long to come around but i vote we be happy now" i can imagine a relationship that evolved from a friendship to more then once you comfortable in that relationship you become more considered about the little things and you don't realize how far the two of you have actuallly come!
