Violins (acoustic) Lyrics
I am just another fool
And I have to
Keep telling myself that
I am just a hypocrite
And I have to
Keep calling you on
'Cause I forgot to bite my tongue
And my assumtion
It is the mother of all mistakes
But I assume the role
Open my mouth
And clumsy words escape
So why ya, wanna be there?
When you could be here?
You are slippin' away...
I awake to your replacement;
A bottle in my mouth
In an unfamiliar place
'Cause you put me out
The butt of a sick joke
Into this ashtray life
As you come and go
'Cause I forgot to service you
And we broke down
And you can't live with my mistakes
But I assume false grace
Open my arms
And grasp for something true
How are you, how have you been?
Girl, I miss you
Wanna see you again
Oh why ya, wanna be there?
When you could be here?
You are slippin' away...
I bring out the worst in you
And you try to let me know
You bring out the worst in me;
Anxiety
Anxiety
I'm trying hard to let you go
But...
You say I'm giving you the creeps
But I assume the role
Open my claws
And grasp for your heart
How are you, how have you been?
Girl, I miss you
Wanna kill you again
Into you
Like a mortal stake
So vindictive...
Girl, I'm slipping away...
And I have to
Keep telling myself that
And I have to
Keep calling you on
And my assumtion
It is the mother of all mistakes
Open my mouth
And clumsy words escape
When you could be here?
You are slippin' away...
A bottle in my mouth
In an unfamiliar place
The butt of a sick joke
Into this ashtray life
As you come and go
And we broke down
And you can't live with my mistakes
Open my arms
And grasp for something true
Girl, I miss you
Wanna see you again
When you could be here?
You are slippin' away...
And you try to let me know
You bring out the worst in me;
Anxiety
But...
You say I'm giving you the creeps
Open my claws
And grasp for your heart
Girl, I miss you
Wanna kill you again
Like a mortal stake
So vindictive...

The acoustic version of this song is just beautiful- the perfect song to listen to when you feel awful, it's so wonderfully sorrowful. The meaning of it is pretty clear, it's about longing for someone after the dissolving of a relationship, but unusually it focusses on the negative aspects as the ones he misses the most, they're the most intimate memories he has. "'Cause I forgot to service you" -he acknowledges maybe he didn't put in all the effort he could have done. "How are ya, how have you been?" -he is longing for news of her, just for some contact. "I bring out the worst in you" -it wasn't a happy relationship but it was their relationship non-the-less. "Girl, I miss you Wanna kill you again." -the relationship was killing both of them, but he cherished it so and he wants to be with her again so much, to the extent that he'd return to the unhappy partnership again, just to be close to her. "Girl, I'm slipping away..." he is losing himself, he needs her again. Adore it, check out this version of the song- it's ace.
Word. Wtf Ya know I looked this up and the damn thing wouldnt show up. Only under lagwagon. And the person not naming names AGAIN screwed up the lyrics. Ah well..
"Ive never really gotten into lagwagon or Joey Cape, but alas theres 3 songs I absolutely couldnt live with out, this is one of them. I agree with Punky I think its about some girl whos a major bitch but he really loves her so hes having a bloody hard time letting her go (for whatever reason), even tho shes practically dragging him down and making him crazy.
Im sure the "violins" has to do with him being in love with her. Ya know how they say when you meet THE ONE you hear violins? Eh who knows. I know i just love this song."
