Another Word For Desperate Lyrics

And all the awkward ways
that you recoil
when I get close
And oh, the awful grin
that greets me when
I'm all alone

So down on hands and knees,
choking, gassing, dripping spit
I just can't make good
on any of these promises

Then he asked me,
"what does that mean?"
What's another word for desperate?
Repetition makes an impression
What's another word for desperate?
I won't be around here
for too very long

So tip the bottle back,
bubble foam, and watch it break
We can all be sure
something awful's coming this way

So take this medicine
and measure doses,
take your time
'cause they'll tear into you
They will, they will, they will, they will

Then he asked me,
"what does that mean?"
What's another word for desperate?
Repetition makes an impression
So what's another word for desperate?
I won't be around here
for too very long
I won't be around here
for too very long

And they'll tear into you
They will, they will, they will, they will

Take it apart and let it all go
Holdin' it back it's all just so...
Why did I care?
How did it go?
Wait for a while and I guess that
I won't be around here
for too very long
I won't be around here
for too very long

everytime i listen to it i freeze.... its absolutely PERFECT!

i'm assuming everybody is aware of the reference to this song in taking back sundays "follow the format" where he sings (backing the theory that it is about the break away from TBS:

i don't need to hear it from you, (what's another word for....)

the "i won't be around her for to very long" is such an amazing ending as well. john nolan has some fucking crazy song writing skills.

hmm... It gets easier with doses of time (Easier with doses of time) which is from "Follow The Format" "So take this medicine, in measured doses, take your time"

i love the ending. it just pops out and surprises you. wonderful. as for meaning, it has to do with tbs i think.

i like that he sings 'repitition makes an impression' and then sings 'i wont be around here for too very long' too very always sounds weird to me because i think its grammatically incorrect, but if it was intentional- its very clever.

I saw them play this song live before the album came out; it was awesome, I assure you.
