mm mmmm mm mmmm
i can not be where the weather is fair
with you on the ground, me in the air
but whistling and just drink up restless hearts
i can still taste the last call, still feel the bar
and plotting the managers and fast open cars
racing the agents, chasing the ancients to the corner stores
to pick out the potions
i like the others to believe we were born
to bleed at the borders, to sleep with the storm
i must confess i've laid down a stronger man,
i dare not go
but i miss you, and i miss you
there is nothing i can take
there is nothing i can do
to keep from running away
i know what i've lost, on this quiet night
still felt your grasp upon me, as a border flight
and i watched you there in the window, wondered how long you'd stay
waving your arms at the jungle, as it tore us both away
wish i could just turn myself around
follow my heart back to you on the ground
i know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
but i miss you, and i miss you
there is nothing i can take
there is nothing i can do
to keep from running away, at any cost
to keep from turning around, just to see what i lost
oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo
but i miss you, and i'll miss you
there is nothing i can take
there is nothing i can do
to keep from running away, at any cost
to keep from turning around, just to see what i lost
(oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo)
wish i could just turn myself around
follow my heart back to you on the ground
i know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
(oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo)
wish i could just turn myself around
follow my heart back to you on the ground
i know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
with you on the ground, me in the air
but whistling and just drink up restless hearts
and plotting the managers and fast open cars
racing the agents, chasing the ancients to the corner stores
to pick out the potions
to bleed at the borders, to sleep with the storm
i must confess i've laid down a stronger man,
i dare not go
there is nothing i can take
there is nothing i can do
to keep from running away
still felt your grasp upon me, as a border flight
and i watched you there in the window, wondered how long you'd stay
waving your arms at the jungle, as it tore us both away
wish i could just turn myself around
follow my heart back to you on the ground
i know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye

there is nothing i can take

i think the meaning of this song is pretty obvious, the title says it all, i wasn't sure on some of the lyrics, some lines he sang and i think he said quietly on purpose, but it sounds like he says it right towards the end of the song. I'm talking about the line "harder to hear than to goodbye", you don't really hear the "to"s that well. I loves ringside as much as i do, this album will probably be my favorite all year.
Okay, Firstly, this is My favourite song by Ringside. Was the first one I heard and I totally fell in love. But this song, as said before, has a pretty obvious meaning. Its about the singer leaving someone he's going to miss and I am guessing that telling them how much he loves them will just make it "harder" to say goodbye.
