I So Hate Consequences Lyrics
And I’m good, good, good to go
I got to get away
Get away from all of my mistakes
So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away
I want to ditch my life
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night
And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Consequences
God, don’t make me face up to this
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Cause I know that I let you down
And I don’t want to deal with that
It just now hit me this is more than just a setback
And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn’t get that
And every trace of momentum is gone
And this isn’t turning out the way I want
And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end
And I spent all last night
Tearing down
Every stoplight
And stop sign in this town
Now I think there might
Be no way to stop me now
I’ll get away despite
The fact I’m so weighed down
All of my escapes have been exhausted
I thought I had a way but then I lost it
And my resistance was once much stronger
And I know I can’t go on like this much longer
When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”
And my sins, they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed
The love you felt for me was mine
The love I’d wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed
I heard no I told you so’s
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, oh God I needed you
God all this time I needed you, I needed you
I got to get away
Get away from all of my mistakes
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away
I want to ditch my life
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night
I just want to get by
I don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end
And running from you is what my best defense is
Consequences
God, don’t make me face up to this
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Cause I know that I let you down
And I don’t want to deal with that
And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn’t get that
And every trace of momentum is gone
And this isn’t turning out the way I want
I just want to get by
I don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end
Tearing down
Every stoplight
And stop sign in this town
Now I think there might
Be no way to stop me now
I’ll get away despite
The fact I’m so weighed down
I thought I had a way but then I lost it
And my resistance was once much stronger
And I know I can’t go on like this much longer
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”
And my sins, they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed

I heard no I told you so’s
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, oh God I needed you
God all this time I needed you, I needed you

This song is awesome
See above comment
this song is great. I cant wait for the album to come out
It's kind of one of those no-brainer meanings. Consequences come with all things, and as shown in the below lyrics, you can't run from Him, He will eventually catch up with you, and always accept you back no matter how far you stray.

What does this part mean? Pretty good song though
His lies caught up to him, and he doesn't want to have to deal with the punishment. He says he doesnt know what he was thinking.. but he still doesn't want to say he's sorry and admit he's wrong because then he will have to face consedquences... thus, "But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that? because i just want all of this to end"

He lied and after he ran out of stories to tell the truth caught up to him, and he knows he messed up.
"I had no idea where my head was at But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that "
I experience this so often. He did something on an impulse or without thinking about it, and later he knows he did something wrong and is sorry, and doesn't want to face up to the consequences. Actually, that's pretty much the gist of the song. Story of my life... it's an issue of willpower.
I love this song, and this CD is spectacular. It's physical proof that Relient K has finally become the well crafted musicians they should be. "K Rocks!!"
great popo punk band
