Self-Conclusion Lyrics
Fade in
Start the scene
Enter beautiful girl
But things are not what they seem
As we stand at the edge of the world
Excuse me sir
But I had plans to die tonight
Oh and you are directly in my way
And I bet you're gonna say it's not right
My reply
Excuse me miss
But do you have the slightest clue
Of exactly what you just said to me
And exactly who you're talking to
She said I don't care
You don't even know me
I said I know but I'd like to change that soon
Hopefully
We all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self-conclusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
You're making it sound so easy to be alive
But tell me how am I supposed to seize this day
When everything inside of me has died
My reply
Trust me girl
I know your legs are pleading to leap
But I offer you this easy choice
Instead of dying
Living with me
She said are you crazy?
You don't even know me
I said I know but I'd like to change that soon
Hopefully
We all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self-conclusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
I would be lying if I said that things would never get rough
And all this cliché motivation, it could never be enough
I could stand here all night
Trying to convince you
But what good would that do
My offer stands and you must choose
All right you win but I only give you one night
To prove yourself to be better than my attempt at flight
I swear to god, if you hurt me I will leap
I will toss myself from these very cliffs
And you'll never see it coming
Settle precious, I know what you're going through
Ten minutes before you got here I was gonna jump too...
We all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self-conclusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
Start the scene
Enter beautiful girl
But things are not what they seem
As we stand at the edge of the world
But I had plans to die tonight
Oh and you are directly in my way
And I bet you're gonna say it's not right

this song made me cry my eyes out. it's beautiful.
Pretty self explanatory...Reminds me much of The Tide. My heart stopped at "ten minutes before you got here I was gonna jump too"
Amazing.
This song holds so much meaning than has been recognized here. I love the "Ten minutes before you got here..." as well, bu everyone seems to have failed to see that he didnt jump. He was contemplating it. Had she not shown up, he would not have jumped, not that time anyway. But he knes the pain and knew that if there was anyone able to take away her pain, it was he.
That sentiment speaks louddly to me, it also makes me so afraid. I always become drawn to those people who have been wronged, those people who need someone to protect them. Those people who need some to save them from the edge. I fall for these people, and it makes me fear the possibility that I care too much. These Relationships never end up working out. The only think i can hope while we part is that the love id given, has been enough to save them from this edge. I could sit here and ramble on forever about the power this song hold to me, how beautiful it is, but few people if anyone will probably even read this comment as is. Seikin
Does anyone know where I could get the guitar chords for this song?
I'm in one of the lowest times of my life right now, and so is a friend of mine... And this to me, are 2 strangers who become friends and save each other from suicide and this horrible world. It's a great song!!!!
this song is sooo good...id like to hear one about the two people involved in this song living happily ever after, cheesy i know...or meeting sometime later down the road, knowing they always have that moment at the cliff...
that would definately be a great idea! ;) the song explains itself. I wished I would be able to be a guy coming out of nowhere to a girl and be her escape! I love how the spill canvas always tell little stories like THE TIDE. sigh
it would be the ultimate sign of fate...anyone wanna help me write a script? we could become famous and have the best love story EVER!!!
I love this song, its so beautiful.

I absolutly love this part. I can relate to it very much.
Settle precious, I know what you're going through Ten minutes before you got here I was gonna jump too...
I love that part. This song is really powerful. The lyrics are amazing.
