Day Old Hate Lyrics
So let’s face it this was never what you wanted
And I know its fun to pretend
Now blank stares and empty threats
Are all I have, they’re all I have.
So drown me and if you can
Or we could just have conversation.
And I fall, I fall, I fall down
But I found you, before I drift away
Now you still speak of day old hate
Though your whole world has gone up into flames
And isn’t it great to find that you’re really worth nothing
And how safe it is to feel safe.
So drown me and if you can
Or we could just have conversation.
And I fall, I fall, I fall down
But I found you, before I drift away
The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to keep ourselves alive.
And I know its fun to pretend
Now blank stares and empty threats
Are all I have, they’re all I have.
Or we could just have conversation.
And I fall, I fall, I fall down
But I found you, before I drift away
Though your whole world has gone up into flames
And isn’t it great to find that you’re really worth nothing
And how safe it is to feel safe.
Or we could just have conversation.
And I fall, I fall, I fall down
But I found you, before I drift away
The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to keep ourselves alive.

definately one of my favourite acoustic songs. and thats saying alot. theres just something about accoustic that makes me feel at peace and sad at the same time. I cant ecplain it.
This is what i got out of it: Enjoy
When they try to have a convo...its just gone,when he looks in her eyes theres nothing; empty. When ever he does something wrong she glares; theres tention. She probably has a drinking problem, he just wants to talk to her. but the less answers he gets from her, the more he drinks and he is drifting away but if he could somehow find her again. she is constantly throwing some stupid mistake in his face....she can't let go of it..he doesn't understand completely. and she cant get over that stupid thing, while his life has gone up into flames. She makes him feel like he is worth nadah. He is trying to keep himself; to convince himself that life is worth living.
this is the song thats kid of helping me get over a break up and strangely this same song got him over me... hmm... thanks dallas green... i think :S
The last three paragraphs of this song are amazing. Dallas is an amazing musician. I officially love him.
Dallas is absolutely amazing ...I think more so on his own but wow, i can't believe the difference between this and his AOF stuff.
This is my favourite City & Colour song. Awsome stuff.
ammaaazzzzzzzzzing song the whole CD is effing brilliant.
the lyrics are amazing, first of all. & i would say that... this song is about a relationship [maybe] where the two people faded apart, something bad happened, or it was a bad break up. i think maybe he is talking about his ex's suffering & by saying "Now isn't great to find, that you're really worth nothing." is just saying that he's over her...and he was in pain for so long, and now it was her turn. perhaps.
i don't know.
Mistake: "And I fall, I fall, I fall down" Correction: "And I fall, I fall, I faulter..." (the lyrics are right in the CD case)
love the song, dallas green is amazing and this song deff my favorite one, and i can get really depressed listening his album. well, i'm totally in love with this musician.
