Morning Calls Lyrics
Morning calls for pain relief
A line above the step beneath
The worst that you could do
And the best that you could hope for
Is hardly the best
Tepid water chase the pills
With turpentine and chamomile
And don't get cheap with the wine
You need to be up all of the time
Shield your eyes, conceal your lies.
Don't blink, everyone's watching.
They'll think you're up to something.
They need for you to be everything
that they cannot
Morning calls for pain relief
A line above the step beneath
The worst that you could do
And the best! that you could hope for
Is hardly the best
Tepid water chase the pills
With turpentine and chamomile
And don't get cheap with the wine
You need to be up- all of the time
Shield your eyes, conceal your lies.
Don't blink, everyone's watching.
They'll think you're up to something.
They need for you to be everything
that they cannot
Don't blink, everyone's watching.
They'll think you're up to something.
They need for you to be everything
that they cannot be themselves
be themselves
A line above the step beneath
The worst that you could do
And the best that you could hope for
Is hardly the best
With turpentine and chamomile
And don't get cheap with the wine
You need to be up all of the time
They'll think you're up to something.
They need for you to be everything
that they cannot
A line above the step beneath
The worst that you could do
And the best! that you could hope for
Is hardly the best
With turpentine and chamomile
And don't get cheap with the wine
You need to be up- all of the time
They'll think you're up to something.
They need for you to be everything
that they cannot
They'll think you're up to something.
They need for you to be everything
that they cannot be themselves
be themselves

It's not the same as 'Turpentine Chaser'. Duh.
I fail to see people's need to post about a song or band that they hate. Really... don't you have anything better to do?
This song explains itself... "Don't blink everyone's watching" --everyone is counting on you "They'll think you're up to something" --they can't see that you struggle, because it would be letting them down "They need for you to be everything that they cannot be themselves" --self explanitory...you have to be their charachter because they depend on you. I guess I can kind of relate to this song becuase a lot of people come to me for advice, expecting me to have alllllll the answers...when I totally don't. And I have problems too, but no where to go becuase everyone depends on me to make the right decisions and choices for them.
I think this song is about a mom who's depressed but she doesn't want her kids to find out because she knows she has to be there for them.
"tepid water chase the pills with turpentine & chamomile" TURPENTINE CHASER!
The other day when i was being emo and sk8boarding, I was having a tough time landing this trick. So I thought to myself "come on jennifer, you're a man, you can do this" and then I thought about this song, and how emo it was, and how emo it made me feel, and how i like to be emo. So I tried to do the trick again, and I failed. Emo and Dashboard have failed me.
Just because you suck at life don't mean it's Dashboard's fault. Maybe you should try not bein a frickin poser and get a life.

Yes, I could kill Dashboard Confessional. Unfortunately, having something better to do isn't always legal.
oh yeah i'm sure if murder was legal you would kill them. uh huh. keep dreaming.
i like this song.. but unlike i~music=life~!.. im not exactly being depended on by everyone [i wish]. but i do love the part thats all 'and the best that you could hope for is hardly the best' i mean when doesnt that seem so true?
